Imalung Lookout — Attraction in Yulara

This lookout is right in the middle of the ring road at Yulara. It's the perfect spot to see Uluru at sunrise and sunset. You can access it easily, however it is not suitable for wheelchairs and prams unless you are prepared to push through parts of soft sand. A couple of things to know about this place before you venture up. There are signs along the track that direct you to STAY ON THE TRACK. There's two big signs at the top when you're facing Uluru that state re-vegetation is taking place and to stay off that area. So, for the LOVE OF ALL THINGS MIGHTY... PLEASE RESPECT THE AREA. Don't do what these people did and stand in the area that rangers are trying to take care of. Also, in the peace and quiet of the morning, don't speak in your normal way. If you talk, whisper. People don't want to hear your conversation. They want to experience the beauty of the area. Even better, just don't talk. Watch what Mother Nature is doing for you. And you'll be rewarded, whether it's cloudy, like our morning was or...

A short walk from Ayer's Rock resort and you'll end up at this lookout that offers an unspoilt view of Uluru, and the Olgas. As lookouts go, it does what it says on the tin. There is some simple seating and a pair of viewing glasses to get a zoomed in view of things. Although the viewing glasses aren't free so take some change with you if you want to use them. The walk to the lookout is sandy all the way and has a short incline...
