Uluru has an allure that’s not tangible. People often describe their visit as spiritual, leaving them with feelings that are hard to put into words. We've been to Uluru twice now and I think I appreciated the size, magic and beauty of Uluru more the second time. We stayed for four nights. Five would have been better. The day we arrived it was raining so we did a drive around Uluru. The following day the sun was shining and our proper exploring began. Some Uluru experiences are fully accessible. Others require some level of mobility to transfer. We know from your feedback that the people reading our blogs have varying levels of ability so we hope that there is something for everyone here. Central Australia has many opportunities for wheelchair users to explore and enjoy. ULURU BASE WALK We thoroughly enjoyed our time exploring the base of Uluru. As BJ was unwell we didn’t do the whole 10km base walk but we were surprised at how accessible the areas we explored are. Compacted paths footbridges and concrete paths at rock art viewing areas make it easy to get around. It was raining on the day we arrived. A helpful guide told us to check out the waterfalls - only one per cent of Uluru visitors get to see them. Uluru's spectacular waterfalls tumble down the crevices in the rock, spiling over lips and soaking into pools a the base. I recommend making the effort to visit if you get a wet day. Uluru is so large you can easily see the waterfalls from the car.   Great ramping and paths make access good at Uluru The rain did leave us with large puddles to negotiate but it didn’t take long for those to disappear. Waterfalls on Uluru We were happy to wake up to
