The sound of silence dinner was a gorgeous experience for the whole family. Weather was perfect, sunset and views from the viewing area amazing. Both Uluru and Kata Tjuta at sunset were beautiful, as was the performance of a didgeridoo player during the welcome drink with canapés and chilled sparkling wine. After sunset, we were seated by attentive staff that offered a selection of Australian wine, while the first course was served at our table. The food was good, and the rest of the dinner was served in buffet style.
When the sky darkened, the service turned lights off to unveil the night sky with myriads of stars visible with the naked eye. Miss Cindy guided us through the night sky and milky way including stories and fairy tales of the aboriginal culture. The talk about different stars and planets you can see was awesome, easy to understand and precisely presented using a laser pointer. A telescope was installed near the seating place unveiling Jupiter with its moons. In addition to wonderful pictures during sunset, we made awesome photos of the milky way and star constellations using a smartphone!
Frankly, the sound of silence was the most memorable dinner on our trip to Australia by far.
