The view of Ayers Rock from Longitude 131

Start by spending two nights in the Park Hyatt Sydney, taking in incredible views of the famous Harbor Bridge and the Sydney Opera House from your hotel window. The outback is next at Ayers Rock in Australia’s central red heartland. You will stay in one of only 15 elevated tents set on an isolated sand dune at the luxurious Longitude 131°. Guided treks through Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, soulful encounters with aboriginal artists and historians, and breathtaking sunrises over Ayers Rock are among the many bushland wonders that await you. Explore the geological and natural wonders of the Flinders Ranges in the South Australian bush from the comfort of Arkaba Station. This charming 19th-century homestead with a working sheep station offers the best for both leisure and adventure travelers – delight in walkabouts on the surrounding grounds where emu, wallaroo, and kangaroo will pause to inspect you as you explore their rural home.
