You step off the bus into a hush broken by wind and the dry scent of spinifex. Uluru looms: a broad, red wall that seems to shift color under the open sky. The tour begins at the rock’s western flank — the scale is immediate, the dust fine under every step — and quickly moves between motorized ease and close-up walking.
