Australia's 16 Natural Treasures

Red Centre

You probably know about the red monolith in Australia's Red Centre. You may know its sacred to the Aboriginal people here and that it turns some spectacular colors at sunrise and sunset. You might not know that you can experience it through Aboriginal eyes, or that there are many other sacred and breathtaking sites here in Australia's vast center. Uluru's cousin Kata Tjuta is just 40 kilometers away, and you'll find the awe-inspiring Kings Canyon not far from Alice Springs. You might not realize that this landscape has green vegetation and lush waterholes, as well as dusty red roads and huge slabs of rock.
