Great news for people who haven’t seen Uluru’s Field of Light

Uluru is one of Australia’s most easily-recognisable attractions, and tourists visiting out most-famous monolith in the last year or so have been enamoured by the Field of Light, an installation designed by acclaimed international artist Bruce Munroe.

The installation, which opened to the public on April 1, 2016, features 50,000 solar powered stems and was originally going to run for a year or so. But public response has been so overwhelming park officials have decided to extend its run.

The Field of Light is now set to remain open until December 31, 2020. And British-born Munroe couldn’t be happier with the way everything has turned out.

“It took me years to get Australian light,” Munro explains. “You won't see colours that rich anywhere in the world.

“We are all very privileged to be allowed to share this land and experience it for ourselves.”
