Visiting Ayers Rock will cost you a lot more than you probably budgeted - I have a friend who went a couple of years ago and returned rather soured by the cost - he and his wife could have had a holiday in London for less.

The locals have rigged everything so that you have to pay exorbitant fees for anything - or see nothing.

Oh.. And you'll have to tolerate the local religion being preached at you.

I've seen Halley's Comet from the Nullarbor and I would expect Ayers Rock would be similar. An interesting experience, yes the sky was good, incredibly quiet, and the low horizon in all directions is a novelty, but it's not the best sky I've observed under.
