Uluru Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Uluru, the world's largest monolith, is a place filled with powerful energy
The world's largest monolith - Uluru🇦🇺
8 years ago, when I was gradually approaching Uluru on the bus, I felt very excited and could feel my body filled with power. Later I found out that Uluru is a place of energy🌕. Although I have been to many places of energy, only Uluru can make me feel the power personally. I have always wanted to come to this special place again. I'm really happy to be here again.♡
Uluru is 348 meters high, taller than the Tokyo Tower. If you look closely at the fourth photo, you will find a small figure, hoping to feel the enormity of Uluru💭.
You can overlook Uluru by helicopter, you can ride a unicycle around Uluru, and you can touch it (only where it is allowed).
The place to stay is the five-star hotel 'Sails in the Desert'. The hotel is very beautiful and has a swimming pool. The last photo shows the five stars forming the Southern Cross, which is very cute🫶🏼🌌.

Uluru Sunrise Segway tour
We spent only three days in Yulara NT, Australia. it was very hot and dry there as it was in Summer time. However, it was one of our memorable adventures! Uluru Segway tour was one of our lists. It took us about two hours to get around this amazing big rock on Segway. The guide tours were very friendly and professional. They picked us up from the hotel at 5:30 am and also provided us lovely breakfast. the tour finished around 2:30 pm. The cost was $178 AUD / person. was a bit pricey but worth every seconds!

Sunset Camel Ride in Uluru ♥️
we had so much fun riding the camel for the first time! it’s like hopping on the train because each camel will be connected to each other! Each camels has its own personality, which some can be very naughty! Its totally safe and enjoyable. one thing was that my bum was so sore after almost 2 hours ride 😂. Snack and drinks also included in this trip! I’m not so sure about the price but it’s about $135 AUD / person including pick-up and drop-off from a hotel. worth it! #camel #camelride #uluru #adventuretrip #adventureday #adventure #couplestrip #couplegoals #couple #australiatravel #australia

Every time I miss you, I fall into a star in the sky, so I have this wild star. I love you once and I will raise a trace of light on it. Then I will have this starry sky - Uluru wilderness starlight. Uluru is the name of the aborigines for this boulder. Ayers Rock is the name that came later for the whites. Uluru is a huge monolithic rock, about 3 kilometers long, 2 kilometers wide, 350 meters high, and the circumference is close to 10 kilometers. Steeply close to the vertical rock wall, the huge size makes everything around it very small.
Sunset Splendor at Uluru
My visit to Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, situated in the heart of Australia's Red Centre, was a profound encounter with one of the world's most iconic natural landmarks. This massive sandstone monolith, sacred to the indigenous Anangu people, stands as a testament to the ancient cultural heritage and spiritual significance of the Australian Outback.
Witnessing sunset at Uluru was an experience that transcended mere sightseeing. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the rock transformed through a mesmerizing palette of reds, oranges, and purples, each moment more captivating than the last. The shifting colors against the vast, open sky created a spectacle that connected me to the land in an unexpectedly deep way.
Exploring the base of Uluru on a guided walk provided insight into its geological formations, ancient rock art, and the stories and traditions that make it a place of pilgrimage for the Anangu. Respecting the requests of the traditional owners, I refrained from climbing Uluru, instead finding immense value in the stories and the stark beauty of the surrounding landscape.
The cultural center near Uluru offered further exploration into the area's significance, with exhibits on Anangu culture, art, and history. Learning about the traditional ways of life and the land's importance to its people added layers of meaning to my visit.
Staying overnight in the national park allowed me to witness the equally stunning sunrise, where the play of light and shadow over the desert landscape was breathtaking. The quiet of the early morning, with the sounds of nature as a backdrop, was a serene start to the day.
Preparation for the desert climate is key, with wide-brimmed hats, sunscreen, and plenty of water essential for daytime exploration. The stark changes in temperature from day to night also necessitated warm clothing for the chilly evenings.
Uluru's majesty, combined with the cultural depth and natural beauty of its surroundings, made my visit an unforgettable journey into Australia's heart. It was a reminder of the timeless connection between land, culture, and spirituality that defines this iconic Australian landmark.

Darwin Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
####
Florence Falls Florence Falls
Darwin is the capital of Northern Australia and a relatively famous tourist city. The British biologist Charles Robert Darwin visited this place in 1839, so the city was named after him. Originally a place of residence for indigenous people, it was developed rapidly after the discovery of gold mines in the 1970s. In 1974, it was severely damaged by the hurricane and later rebuilt to become a beautiful and highly developed city with modern streets and buildings. .
In 2012, Lonely Planet described Darwin: There are fascinating night scenes, magical markets and restaurants, world-class outdoor deserts. In the same year, Darwin was ranked among the top 10 best cities in the world. The city of Darwin is very small. I drove from the airport to the hotel in the center of the city, only about twenty minutes. Here I tried two hotels, Hilton Hotels and Doubletree by Hilton. The DoubleTree by Hilton is a little bit but not far away, just ten minutes walk from the busiest Mitchell Street in the city centre. Hardware and food are average, but parking is convenient and free.
During the Second World War, Darwin was bombed by the Japanese army as an allied base. It was the only city in Australia that had experienced war. But this is not the only disaster in Darwins short history of more than two hundred years. On Christmas Day 1974, a typhoon named Tracy almost destroyed the entire city. The damage caused by this disaster far exceeded the Japanese army during World War II. What you did. As a tourist, we must know that Darwin is not only a warm and romantic seaside town, but also a city that has suffered twice.

Kakadu National Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
A beautiful location for some much needed cooling off in a croc-free pool. We walked to the top which took only around 30 mins via a small track across the river. Rock jumping and swimming amongst the pools was one of the highlights of our trip to Kakadu. #wintergetaway
#wintergetaway
Kakadu National Park is Australia's largest national park, once an aboriginal autonomous region whose indigenous culture dates back 50,000 years. It was later classified as a national park and was included in the World Heritage List. There are rich landscapes, cliffs, floodplains, tropical rainforests, wetland waterfalls, and tens of thousands of colorful flora and fauna. But the most distinctive thing for me is that Kakadu is here. I can see the rock paintings from 20,000 years ago. This is the most direct evidence and carrier of the origin of indigenous cultures dating back tens of thousands of years.
In Australia's largest national park, you'll admire rugged cliffs, lush tropical rainforests, and rock art that has a history of 20,000 years. Go to the Huangshui River cruise, take a boat, and the millions of migratory birds that stop on the wet ground will surely make you stunned, and the fierce crocodile predation scene is quite exciting.
The captain told us the precautions, taught us how to use life jackets, and the children could not sit on their side. So the parents all persuaded their children to sit on the inside. The blonde girl in my front row kept looking at the river bank and trying to find the crocodile. "Crocodile!" She should be very proud. She didn't even notice the captain who knew it, but she first discovered a crocodile. I and her two sisters and mom and dad first looked in the direction of her chubby fingers, and found a crocodile quietly on the shore. The captain exclaimed to praise the little girl and retreated the hull near the crocodile. I don't know how long this crocodile has been here, and the wet water on the back has been dried. It may have been accustomed to facing tourists who are surprised to see themselves every day, as if a burnout employee who came out of work every day to get out of work and showed his face, did not move, and ignored us.

Northern Territory Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
From Darwin to Jabiru Jabiru, the only town in Kakadu National Park, about three hours' drive. The highways in the Northern Territory are relatively narrow and the road conditions are not particularly good. Fortunately, there are not many people with few people, and it is not difficult to drive. Too big. Its just that the driver must pay more attention to the animals on the road. I saw a lot of animal bodies that were crushed on the road because of crossing the high speed. I also encountered the kangaroos who jumped and walked sideways with our vehicles. The two claws caught an eagle flying up in a black snake. This is the Northern Territory.
It's hard to notice in the city. After sunset, the eyes are really dark. In the wilderness of the Northern Territory, the light of the stars and moons is negligible, and the darkness covers the sky and gradually invades the entire wilderness. This moment is too short, every second is precious. At this time, Kakadu was dark. On the road without lights, only the reflective columns on both sides marked the boundary of the road. It was very cautious to drive, and occasionally the kangaroo crossed the road.
On the Ubir Rock Mountain in the Northern Territory, follow the signs of small arrows on the road, climb the rock paintings all the way, and finally climb the huge rock in the wilderness, which is the lookout platform Nardab Lookout. At this time Ubir, the sunset is coming. Those who came from all directions, like me, sat silently on the edge of the cliff, waiting calmly for the sunset.
