THE RED CENTRE, Uluru and the Olgas - A great winter destination!

- Ayers Rock/ Uluru Australia's most famous lump of sandstone. Biggest dilemma - to climb it or not.

- Various ways to explore it ... I highly recommend the sunrise and guided tour around its base.

- A must do is the Sounds of Silence dinner...dinner under the stars and on the desert sand.

- Accommodation options...from backpackers to the 5-star Sails in the Desert Resort.

- Take a day trip to the Olgas, which is arguably more visually striking than Uluru.

Various walking tracks to be sized up. The must-do trail is the Walpa Gorge walk, which courses through an ancient gorge.
