Savor the night sky above Australia's Uluru
February 22, 2012
Dining under the stars takes on a whole new meaning when you experience it at Uluru. Also known as Ayers Rock, the sandstone formation is the largest monolith in the world and the most famous natural landmark in all of Australia. Sounds of Silence, a dining event that holds a spot in the Australian Tourism Hall of Fame, could be the most memorable treasure that you treat yourself to while visiting the prized monument on your locum tenens assignment.
Before settling down for dinner, the adventure tour guides you along a path to a 360-degree view of the vast landscape of the Outback. Properly timed with the cycle of the sun, the journey will end just as the sun begins to set, creating an awe-inspiring backdrop for the traditional dinner you're about to feast upon.
Amidst the wide spectrum of colors in the evening sky, you can wine and dine on Australia's most notable delicacies, including barramundi, kangaroo and crocodile, bush salads and authentic desserts complemented by Australian libations.
Next comes the stargazing. Expert astronomers are your designated "startalkers," guiding you through each constellation in the sky with a megawatt spotlight in hand. One startalker, Mike, recently shared with traveler John Vlahides that every 15 minutes, he witnesses a shooting star soar past, according to a video of Vlahides’ adventures on Lonely Planet.
After you view the night sky of southern Australia, you could go your whole life and never witness such a beautiful sight again – unless you revisit Uluru at sunrise and witness the golden sky cast its light upon the terracotta desert.
