Home to one of Australia’s most recognisable landmarks and natural wonders of the world, Uluru is truly a one-of-a-kind destination for events.
This region has dry, sunny weather all year round however, like the rest of the Northern Territory it can get very hot in the summertime. So for ideal conditions, visit Uluru between May and September, when the maximum temperature during the day is usually between 20°C and 30°C.
Did you know... The majestic Uluru is 600 million years old and sits at 348 metres tall – that’s 48 metres taller than the Eiffel Tower!
