No Experience Required

Dust on the bus seats and the dry tang of eucalyptus set the tone as the tour departs Ayers Rock Resort. By late afternoon the silhouette of Uluru rises—an immense, ochre monolith that changes color as the sun leans west—and the group settles into the ritual every visitor remembers: a quieting, a shared hush, and then the clink of glasses as a sunset barbecue begins.
