As darkness falls and Uluru is thrown into silhouette, field of light illuminates. As far as the eye can see gentle rhythms of colour light up the desert. The solar-powered installation will open on 1 April 2016, remaining open throughout the Red Centre’s distinct seasons until 31 March 2017.

The Field of Light art installation, a global phenomenon by internationally acclaimed artist Bruce Munro, has come ‘home’ to the place that inspired it - Uluru. More than 50,000 slender stems crowned with frosted-glass spheres bloom as darkness falls over Australia’s spiritual heartland.

Starting from April, 2016, the light installation "Field of Light" will illuminate the land for nearly a year, closing on 31 March 2017.

Pathways draw viewers into the installation, which comes to life under a sky brilliant with stars. The installation, aptly named Tili Wiru Tjuta Nyakutjaku by the local community means ‘looking at lots of beautiful lights’ in local Pitjantjatjara will be in place for a full year, and will close on 31 March 2017.

You can delve into the experiential artwork in a number of different ways; from the entry-level Field of Light Pass which includes return coach transfers to the remote site with ample time to experience the installation; to a special dinner under the night sky at A Night at Field of Light.
