A Dinner That Connects to the Land
And this is all happening while the company is in a state of financial solvency, which means they’ve got enough money to keep it going without any significant troubles—no small problems here. People who organize it have to ensure everything runs smoothly, so they really strengthen up to the act, so everyone has a good time at this once-in-a-lifetime dinner under the stars.
Eating dinner at Sounds of Silence isn’t like eating a normal dinner—it’s special because you get to try food from Australia that comes from the land and the wild. They have a large table with all kinds of things to eat, such as kangaroo meat, crocodile, momentous fish called barramundi, and also traditional plants and spices. They prepare the food thinking about old ways of cooking that Aboriginal people have used for countless years.

Stories Told by the Stars
When you eat it, it’s like you’re connecting with a very long tale of people and their clever cooking. To make the dinner even nicer, they give you special Australian drinks that taste really good with the food. Later, when you’ve eaten dinner, they have appealing things to eat and a special drink that adults like, called port, to finish everything off.
As far as truth is concerned, when it’s night time and it gets really dark, the stars come out to shine without city lights to hide them, and it looks very nice. Guests then get to listen to the star talker, a sharp person who helps everyone look at the shining stars. They point out the different shapes in the stars and the planets, and they share stories from a long time ago—some from Western talks, and others that Aboriginal people have passed down—surely very old, very precious tales.

Dinner with the Stars – Why Sounds of Silence at Uluru is a Must-Do

More Than a Meal – A Memory That Lasts
Seeing the Milky Way, without the city lights being in the way, is something so special and touching. And, even though the star talker knows a lot—like a teacher who really wants to be a college professor—they still tell it in a fun, story-like manner. That way, it feels like you’re part of a momentous, ancient story as you listen to the old tales and learn new things, ensuring fully it’s not simply plain fact-telling, but also something beautiful.
In 2018, Sounds of Silence had its 25th birthday party, and even though it’s been around for a long time, it still has all the incredibly wonderful elements that made it amazing from the start. We get to eat food from the wild, listen to acceptable music from a didgeridoo, learn about the stars, and just be really quiet in the sandy night.
25-Year Celebration

As far as truth is concerned, Sounds of Silence is not (just) a location you go to eat dinner when you visit Uluru–it’s much more—it’s a location where people think about the earth, traditions, and where they fit in the vast, wide space. It’s like a special feeling that stays with you in your heart. It’s a significant deal and a large number of people say it’s the best thing to do there.
