Gray Line Alice Springs » Uluru Adventure
Rising from the desert sands, this massive creation from the dawn of time will overwhelm you. The richness of colour changes by the hour, the powerful presence of the Aboriginal Tjukurpa (dreaming), and the enormity of this symbol of the Australian Outback.
