Remember that Hat!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Due to the nice warm weather and because of its proximity to the hole in the ozone layer, Australians require you to wear a hat at all times. Just kidiing, it is not a requirement to wear one, but it would definitely be in your best interest to bring one along. Although I packed mine, Sarah forgot hers and could not find an acceptable one in the store, which meant she got mine, and I got this new Barmah hat!

    Pack a Hat!!
  • Tip Rating:
  • During quick weekend trip to Uluru, we enjoyed a weekend away, but since this was spur of the moment, we did not really pack properly. Definitely remember a few things, including most importantly, fly spray, sunblock, and a hat. In addition to that, lightweight clothing, preferably of a Steve Irwin style khaki, and do not forget your water!!

    Definitely bring a digital SLR so you can see all the sights and bring them home with you. Also, remember a tripod if you want to get the different color shades of Uluru properly!

    Sunscreen, Hat & Sunnies
  • Tip Rating:
  • Travel light. If you decide to climb Uluru, or even walk around the base, do not bother bringing a backpack. A bum-bag / pouch around the waist would be a sensible approach to carry a camera and a bottle of water in. It is a tough climb, and you want both hands free.

    The red sand can stain, so, light coloured clothes are sensible in the relentless heat, yes, but easily stained by the red sand. A hat, sunglasses and a pair of running shoes or hiking boots are a must.

    Sunscreen and plenty of it !! Fly and mosquito repellant may also be a wise choice.

    People have died of heart attack and sunstroke climbing Uluru. If you are at risk, do not do it. I recommend going on the pre-dawn climb, so that you can finish just as the sun is rising. Otherwise, the temperatures are too severe.

    Mobile Phone
    Remember to bring you mobile phone when you climb the rock - - in case someone happens to call and ask where you are! The signal is particlarly strong at the top ( if you are on the Telstra network , dont know about Optus/Vodaphone). Telstra made a point of this to demonstrate their Australia wide coverage, pity the signal isnt so good in less famous spots.

    Flies Flies Flies
    There are tons of flies in this area. Take something that repels flies or wear that silly looking hat that has the corks hanging from the rim.
