Immerse Yourself in a Mindful Celebration of Culture and Nature at Dawn
As the first rays of dawn paint the dark sky, contemplate the vastness of time. Take a deep breath. Connect with Country and prepare to be awakened by awe-inspiring storytelling at the world's most spectacular sunrise. This is a journey through time and culture. As the slow rising sun marks the day, a stunning piece of artwork, created by three local Anangu women comes to life through laser projection, music and the natural environment of the desert floor. The iconic Uluru is our backdrop. Feel the shared connection to the land. Be reminded of the experiences we understand as humans. By coming together, past, present and future - we are one. As the sun finally finds its resting place for a brand new day, be filled with hope, new beginnings and a bright future looking forward.
