Uluru

This is 5 ½ hours by bus from Alice Springs. The rock is sacred ground for the Aborginal people. 1500 feet above the ground and three quarters of it is underground.

It is 7 miles around, but you cant go around it all because it is not allowed. You can climb up it, but it is a tough 2 hour climb.

The things to do are  take a tour, see the sunrise over the rock which is amazing the different colors, photos dont do it justice. Take a guided walk along the base of the rock. In the evening, book the Sounds of Silence Dinner. A wonderful experience, dine in the bush, then have a lecture by an astronomer. A walk in the Olgas  36 large rock formations 50 miles away is also interesting, thru the Valley of the Winds.
