Rising 348 metres above the desert plain, Uluru stands as an enduring symbol of Australia’s heart. This ancient sandstone monolith has watched over the Red Centre for more than half a billion years, holding deep cultural and spiritual significance for the Anangu people, the Traditional Owners of the land.
As the light shifts, Uluru transforms before your eyes. Glowing red at sunrise, rich amber at sunset, and casting long, gentle shadows across the desert. It’s a place to pause, breathe, and feel something timeless.
As a delegate of the National Apprentice and Employment Network (NAEN) Conference 2026, you’ll gather in one of the world’s most extraordinary settings, Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park.
Take the opportunity to explore beyond the conference. From ancient landscapes and local culture to luxury stays and adventure experiences, Discover Central Australia has created pre and post touring options exclusively for NAEN delegates.
