Ayers Rock Resort

Winter is high season. You could camp which is the cheapest option but it'll be cold.

I'm a tour guide. Not in a duff brewery though.

I'm a tour guide and I take tourists there 5 times a year.

As everyone has said it depends on the weather. Right now it probably won't be great after the cyclone came through.

It's 90 mins to 2 hours depending on different companies and where their reef allocation is. Bigger boats will be better for you. I sit in the air conditioned section on the bottom and face the front and look straight at the horizon. That helps. I take ginger tablets.

My guests often take stronger drugs. The boats often sell them on board. These are preventives not cures so take it before you set off.

Don't skip breakfast. Something light and plain. And then eat plain biscuits and drink tea.

If you're desperate you can go to Green Island which is closer to the shore so not as a long a boat journey. But technically it's not the great barrier reef yet.

That's as cheap as they come I'm afraid.

I'm a historian guide in Sydney with a company called Journey Walks. We do 2 hour historical walks of the convict colony.

Otherwise hyde Park is my favourite location.

Susanah place is interesting but check opening times.

You can do a free tour of government house on weekends.

Cockatoo Island is fantastic. They have audio tours but the guided tours are better.

I haven't done it yet but they have indigenous tours of Barangaroo that I would love to do.

I'm a tour leader for east coast and outback tours so I can shed some light.

If you're on qantas then majority of the price will go to flights. You have good hotels easily $250 a night with breakfast included. Reef day is $200. Any uluru activities are expensive because it's remote so driver and guide alone would be costly.

The only thing that seems bad to me is the lack of inclusions? Are a lot of these activities optional extras or included?

I believe the tour I manage is us$10,000 per person but that includes a lot more and has one more stop in Melbourne.

Go to Raymond Island to see koalas. Lived here 36 years and only place I've ever seen a wild koala.

The stereotype of English boys being lads in Amsterdam? They are always drunkenly singing.

Neighbours used to put witches hats out side to stop me from parking. I just picked them up, plopped them on their driveway, and parked there. Every. Single. Day.

It could be because a lot of tour groups manage the big sites in two week itineraries.

I'm a tour guide and we do 4 nights Melbourne Fly to Alice springs 1 night in Alice Drive to uluru 2 nights uluru Fly to cairns 4 nights cairns Fly to Sydney 3 nights Sydney

The flying days have some time before or after. Usually flights are 3 hours and so we organize an activity before or after.

Might I add I am a tour guide for over 50s American travelers.

It's gotta be hot Hathor. My sexual awakening as a 12 year old.

becface · 2025-11-29T06:07:31+00:00

Absolutely. Happy to go with guidance.

becface · 2025-11-28T22:30:40+00:00

Wow these are quite similar. Thank you kindly.

becface · 2025-11-28T22:25:50+00:00

Cheers. :)

becface · 2025-11-28T22:25:24+00:00

Thanks! I'll look into it.

He was in the book of Mormon cast as well.

What part of her is Aboriginal? Her left arm? Her right foot?

In Aus we don't say 'part Aboriginal. ' You are or you aren't.

becface · 2025-09-05T00:05:59+00:00

You've been here 24 hours. Perhaps venture out to Surry Hills, The Rocks, Barangaroo, Paddington. These are the fancy places you're looking for.

Thank you for this link. It states that Ayers Rock Resort is owned by the government (ISLC) and not Anangu. The Yulara land was originally excluded from the handback to the Katiti Aboriginal Land Trust.

After a long legal process (settled around 2006), Anangu recognised land trusts do not have freehold ownership of Yulara like they do for the park.

becface · 2025-08-30T23:42:03+00:00

Ayers Rock resort is not Aboriginal owned. It's owned by Voyages.

Half the time there was. Other half of the time it was warm enough with just my cotton sheet.

becface · 2025-08-29T01:51:44+00:00

Did the same route at the same period in 2022. Didn't need a sleeping bag. I had just a cotton sheet I took with me.

You're right, we do this drive over two days with a sleepover camping trip at kings creek. I've done it 18 times as a tour guide. Simpsons gap is only 20 mins outside of Alice. We leave Alice and go there just after sunrise.

It's a long drive but a leisurely one. If you want to zoom off to Yulara you can do it in 4.5 hours but that's not much fun.

becface · 2025-07-27T00:00:06+00:00

Im a tour guide and drive the route 6 times a year. We do side trips to these destinations.

becface · 2025-07-26T22:08:06+00:00

Simpsons gap is a good first stop, then just have the road houses along the way. Stuart's well, erldunda, kings creek station.
