Stayed at Sails In The Desert - Ayers Rock, Australia.
|
Ayers Rock and the Olgas were just amazing. We chose to rent a car and do it on our own rather than join all of the tours available. I would highly recommend doing so!! Seeing the sunrise from the Olgas was fantastic and we were happy to see that it is not as crowded there and a really unique perspective on both Ayers and the Olgas. Regarding all hikes - be sure to get out there early in the morning as trails tend to close early due to weather conditions (heat and wind). And beware of the flies!!! We were walking miles upon miles waving our arms to keep them out of our face and off our bodies (they are harmless...they don't bite but are such a nuisance!). However, as much as that was a pain it didn't take away from the beauty or experience of being there!!

Stayed at Novotel Canberra - Canberra, Australia.
|
If you're here to see Canberra, this hotel is a great place to stay as it is walking distance to the City Center Bus Terminal which can take you to any part of Canberra. It is also the start point of the Canberra bus tour as well as tourist buses to Sydney and other locations.

Stayed at Outback Pioneer Ayers Rock - Ayers Rock, Australia.
|
The Sounds of Silence dinner is a must do experience. It was the highlight of my trip to the outback. Getting up at four AM to see the sunrise over Ayers Rock was a waste of sleep. It was lovely later in the day, and sunset is much lovelier.

Stayed at Outback Pioneer Ayers Rock - Ayers Rock, Australia.
|
From the resort, it's 20 km to Uluru (a/k/a Ayers Rock) and 50 km to Kata Tutja (the Olgas). You can get there with tours, but if your time is limited, I would recommend renting a car.

Stayed at Adelaide International, Hotel - Adelaide, Australia.
|
Adelaide a very pleasant destination and would recommend the free circle tour bus which gives excellent orientation. Hahndorf (in the Adelaide Hills) a worthwhile half-day visit with the other half spent at the nearby excellent Cleland Wildlife Park (a must for Koala cuddling). Also the tram ride to Glenelg an essential trip.

The Melbourne Zoo is the best in the world and I highly recommend the Nudel Bar restaurant on Bourke Street.

Fantastic place to visit, but beware of the flies! (plenty of repellant needed). The sounds of silence dinner is a must.
