Ayers Rock Resort, together with the Uluru Camel Racing Club Inc, will host the colourful Uluru Camel Cup from Friday 29 May to Saturday 30 May 2015. Now in its fourth year, the Uluru Camel Cup (formerly Outback Fest), is a celebration of authentic Aussie outback adventure, featuring annual event highlight the Uluru Camel Cup Race Day.
Festivities kick off at the atmospheric Outback Pioneer Hotel & Bar on Friday night with boot scooting, live entertainment and the opportunity to bid on a favourite camel with the locals at the lively Camel Cup Calcutta.
Saturday’s celebrated Uluru Camel Cup Race Day begins with qualifying races followed by an exciting Dash for Cash, Plate Race and the Uluru Camel Cup itself. Off the track there is plenty to see and do for the whole family with stock whip demonstrations, wheel barrow races, kids’ sack race and even a camel dung throwing competition. Guests are encouraged to frock-up and partake in the ever-popular Fashions on the Field complete with a parade and presentation. A kids club will be available on the day as well as lively outback-style markets.
The weekend will culminate with a true blue Frock Up & Rock Up Gala Ball set under the sparkling outback night sky, complete with a red desert dance floor, light BBQ style supper and live entertainment - tickets are $30 per person (18+). Upgrade to the exclusive VIP Roundyard Cocktails and Canapés for an extra $70 per person which includes canapés, wet oyster bar, beer, wine, sparking wine and two special Camel Cup cocktails.
