The deep red colours of dusk and the subtle orange of dawn display the outback at its very finest in Central Australia, where the sacred sites of Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) can be viewed in all their majesty.

Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is a World Heritage Site, owned by the local Anangu Aboriginal people and managed by Parks Australia in cooperation with them. Uluru holds a significant place in the Anangu people's creation stories and laws, which are known as Tjukurpa, and many of these stories relate to how the ancestral beings formed the Rock.

The angular ridges and dry creek beds of the MacDonnell Ranges also provide some of the oldest landscape in the world. This region remains as it did 60 million years ago.
