Ahead of the school holidays, here are our audience's favourite areas to explore because of their natural beauty and cultural significance.
"To give an idea of the scale of these rocks, this photo was taken from 40km away. They are massive!" — Bill Millar
We couldn't write an article about national parks without including the Northern Territory's Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. The Anangu people are the traditional owners of the land; the national park and its surrounds are a sacred and culturally significant site., but there is far more to this national park than meets the eye.You can take the entire 10-kilometre Uluru base walk or just concentrate on one or more of its sections, depending on how much time you have, your level of fitness and the weather.
A shorter and easier route is the Liru walk, particularly following rains when the area comes alive with wildflowers. The park boasts two galleries — Maruku Arts and Walkatjara Art — that both showcase Anangu art and crafts at the visitor's centre.
