Seeing Uluru has been such a bucketlist for me, and it surpassed all my expectations, particularly at sunset. Our guide, Rhett, was beyond knowledgeable about all things, from the plants, to the rock formations, to the stars, to aboriginal history and culture and all of the above developments up to today! He was fantastic and I am so glad I was lucky enough to meet him as he made the experience so much more enriching. The campsites are actually incredibly…”

On a dû attendre et on a perdu un temps considérable à la caisse et à savoir que le parc Dreamworld ferme à 16h30, ses activités en arrivant et qu’il ouvre un 10h30 et que l’on doit faire la queue jusque 11h30. C’est un peu dommage.”
