As the heart of our operations, Uluru Resort is recognised as the premier cultural tourism destination in Australia. We operate a growing portfolio of Indigenous tourism businesses that provide a range of experiences unique to their location. We work with local communities to create opportunities for employment, training and business development. Through our operations we assist the development and empowerment of local communities. We achieve industry-leading rates of Indigenous employment and Indigenous Australians are represented at all levels of the organisation. The National Indigenous Training Academy is Australia’s leading enterprise based residential training model in tourism which is sought out by students and employers and replicated throughout Australia. Voyages provides its employees with a career path in tourism, supported by its business partners and Voyages alumni are recognised throughout Australia’s tourism industry. Voyages’ Indigenous engagement objectives are supported by our commercial success and our business is self-funding and sustainable. Our business has a significant and lasting economic and social impact on Australia and Voyages is distinguished within the industry as a company that aligns Indigenous economic development with commercial success. Voyages staff are drawn to the vision and are proud of what we achieve.

Our Destinations Mossman Gorge Located in the southern part of the Daintree National Park, Mossman Gorge, is one of the few places in the country that the visitors can gain an insight into the lives, culture and beliefs of Australia’s Indigenous population and their connection to the natural environment, while at the same time enjoying an array of visually stunning sites. Visitors are greeted by not only pristine rainforest, cool streams, towering mountains and the dramatic gorge, but also a warm and friendly welcome from the local Kuku Yalanji people.

The new world class eco-tourism visitor’s centre was constructed in partnership with the Mossman Gorge Aboriginal community. The visitor centre will not only preserve the natural beauty of the environment, but also enhance the overall tourist experience. The Centre will provide a number of services and facilities such as a comfortable welcome area, contemporary café, well-stocked Indigenous art gallery and retail store, booking area for Indigenous guided walks, extensive car and bus parking away from environmentally sensitive areas and an eco- friendly bus service to take visitors to and from the Gorge itself.

Home Valley Station The Kimberley region within far north-western Australia has a wonderful history which continues today – from the ancient civilisation of the Australian Indigenous people, to those European explorers who paved the way for today's pastoral industry. Modern day diversification of these enormous land holdings has seen the development of tourism and in Home Valley Station’s case, an on-site training academy and suitable employment designed for Indigenous men and women from the area. At Home Valley Station we pride ourselves on providing guests with the ultimate Australian outback experience. Accommodation across the Station provides options for travellers of all preferences, from those who prefer their rugged outback adventure with a twist of luxury to those seeking a more intimate experience. Home Valley Station is an outback adventure playground of nature’s most breath taking combination of towering gorges, sparkling waterholes, ever-flowing rivers, untouched beaches, billabongs, waterfalls and stunning ancient landforms and ranges. Our guests have the privilege of touring with knowledgeable guides who provide a special insight in to the Kimberley landscape, flora and fauna.

A Taste of Our Dining Tali Wiru An intimate dining experience under the outback sky ‘Tali Wiru’, meaning beautiful dune in local Anangu language, encapsulates the magic fine dining under the Southern Desert sky. Instead of walls, this open-air restaurant has magnificent views of Uluru and the distant domes of Kata Tjuta (The Olgas); for music there’s the stillness of the desert at night. Relax with champagne and canapés around a fire-pit while you watch the sun set. As the day turns into night, stroll to the top of the dune for a table d'hôte four-course dinner, matched with premium Australian wine. After dinner, a local storyteller will captivate you with celestial creation stories. Tali Wiru is so much more than a dining experience, it’s a night you will remember for the rest of your life.

Sounds of Silence Entered into the Australian Tourism Hall of Fame, Sounds of Silence offers the best of the Red Centre distilled into four magical hours. An evening of dining under the sparkling outback sky while a storyteller shares tales told under the stars. Your journey begins on a lone sand dune. A path takes you to an uninterrupted, 360 degree view of this vast landscape. In front of you is the fabled Uluru; behind you are the domes of Kata Tjuta and possibly the most spectacular sunset you have ever seen. Here you enjoy sparkling wine and a selection of delectable canapés. As the sun sets you feast on a BBQ of authentic Australian delicacies such as barramundi, kangaroo, crocodile, bush salads and classic desserts, complemented by Australian wines. Attention then turns to some of the world’s best stargazing as our start talker takes you on a spectacular tour of the night sky. As you wind down after dinner you are offered a choice of tea, coffee or port. Sounds of Silence is highly recommended and we encourage every visitor (and member of staff) who comes to Voyages Ayers Rock Resort to join us for this unique event.

Things you should remember... 

Voyages Ayers Rock Resort is 450kms from Alice Springs (the nearest town) and therefore a long way from many of the facilities that people take for granted. For example shopping, a pharmacy, entertainment and theatre.



Due to the size and the scope of the Resort there are many opportunities for employees to gain additional employment and cross training.



Most residents are able to save a good deal of money whilst living at Ayers Rock. Living costs are generally not as high as in a city and there are discounts and tax benefits to help you save.



Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia is committed to the training and development of its employees and extensive training programmes are conducted regularly.



Most employees find it very easy to settle in, as the residents of Ayers Rock are very friendly and helpful.



Being in such a unique area filled with history and wildlife - enjoying the great outdoors and vast land- scape is a popular past time with residents.



CLIMATE - A “dry” atmosphere with temperatures across the year varying from a hot 45°C in Summer months (December - March) to a cool 19°C in winter months (and chilly nights down to as low as -2°C!).



Being a Resort with approximately 750 residents, people find that they live and work together, which can at times be restrictive on your personal privacy.



Summer months can be an interesting time within the Resort, with the extremes in temperature and the influx of insects and interesting wildlife. Due to the natural environment that the Resort is situated in, we are subject to a variety of creepy crawly fauna, i.e. snakes, spiders, etc. however don’t be alarmed! All you need is a little common sense.



All in all, Ayers Rock Resort is a great place to live. Where else can you boast no pollution, and no traffic (well we do have a roundabout) while offering a great lifestyle!
