That rather depends on your budget and what you are looking for, note that choice is somewhat restricted at Uluru In Alice Springs be sure to visit the Desert Park about 7km west of the city centre and take a trip up to the old telegraph station just north of the town It became an orphanage for aboriginal and mixed race kids between the wars and when I went there they had an old aborignal guy who was raised there who was telling stories of the time. Contrary to expectations he was very happy there and described the staff as very kind and he ended up being sent to University to study engineering. Keith |

Luxury safari tents for a gazillion dollars a night but with a view to match. I actually think they may have been hit by two seperate bush fires... Michelle |

Yes, Longitude 131 burned to the ground. However it was only a small colleciton of luxury tent accommodations, the rest of the Ayers Rock Resort is still going strong, and charging for being the only accommodation anywhere near the rock.

Hi Artur
Check out the following website for internet rates for accommodation and tours (Sounds of Silence) http://www.ayersrockaccom.com/tourListing/1922/328/. Ive heard that the Sounds of Silence dinner needs to be booked pretty early. Cheers Megan "Artur" wrote in message ... I'm going in August to visit Alice and Uluru.
