Uluru National Park (Ayers Rock) What to Pack

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: 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!

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: light clothing
hat or at least a cap
you really need a fly-net
proper shoe wear/walking shoes

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: fly/insect repellent
lip balm
sun tan 30+
sun glasses

Photo Equipment: spare memory on your digital camera or plenty of films
tripod for a sunset pic of Uluru

Miscellaneous: Never forget to buy water when leaving your accommodation for a (road) trip through the desert. During the trip from Alice Springs to Uluru it is possible to get water in Alice Springs, Glen Helen, Kings Canyon, Kings Creek, Curtin Springs and Uluru.

It is also possible to get petrol for your car in these places.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Wear closed toe shoes. We saw a very poisonous blue backed spider. I know they have fixes for all of the potential spider bites, but I personally wouldnt take a chance. Hike in fully covered feet.

Miscellaneous: If you only drink spring water, definitely buy it in the big city and bring it to the outback. Its much cheaper that way!

Miscellaneous: 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.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: This will give you hard time if the sand goes inside you tight shoes, in order to get rid of this problem, sandle is easier for you to walk on the sandy Red Center.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: If you think of climbing the Ayers Rock, you may need to wear a pair of shoes to tighten both your legs. This to make you easier to walk and to climb.
