- First drone footage of Uluru released by Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia.
- Permission given by Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park Board and the Film and Photography Consultative Committee.
Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia has released the first ever drone footage over Uluru, giving a unique bird-s eye view of the 600-year-old monolith. The drone operated under permit inside Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.
Approval for the footage was given by the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park Board and the Film and Photography Consultative Committee of Australia.
Voyages CEO Andrew Williams, said: “We are delighted to present this exclusive new perspective of one of the most astonishing landscapes on earth, and we thank the Traditional Owners for their support. We hope this video encourages travellers from both Australia and all over the globe to come and experience Uluru for themselves.
“While there is no replacement to enjoying firsthand the majestic beauty of Uluru, this footage gives a breathtaking insight into the majestic nature of the landscape.
Uluru is the tip of a huge rock that continues below the ground for between 5 and 6km. The monolith is 3.6km long and 348m at its tallest point – 43m higher than Sydney’s Centrepoint Tower, 24m higher than the Eiffel Tower and just 33m lower than the Empire State Building. The colour changes of Uluru result from the filtering effect of the earth’s atmosphere on the sun’s rays.
