OK....so you go to see Uluru...that's a given. But for me, far more atmostpheric was the Olgas - in particualar the Valley of the Winds walk. The Olgas (Kata Tjuta) lies about 50km from Uluru and the main walk is about 8km of an easy-moderate trail.
There are few tourists even in peak season, and it really gives you the feel of the desolation and beauty of the red centre.
I'm not saying don't go to Uluru...I'm saying instead of going there for both sunset AND sunrise, try the Olgas for one of them instead.
It's in Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park. Look at this website link: www.deh.gov.au/parks/uluru/

Agreed. Stay at Uluru an extra day or two, and do this one. It's another world. If no transport, can usually get a ride there on the tour buses from Yulara campsite.
