By early afternoon five flights have arrived; by mid-afternoon the last of five outbound flights is leaving. As the final passengers shuffle out of the departure hall, the cafe is closing down. Connellan Airport doesn't do pressure.
991 miles from Adelaide; 1,216 miles from Darwin; 1,274 miles from Perth; 1,440 miles from Melbourne; 1,761 miles from Sydney. Welcome to Ayer's Rock.
This ignores Alice Springs, but Alice Springs is still 287 miles away - six hours of driving, or a 50 minute flight.

For a tour guide, it is good sometimes to see life from a tourist's perspective...
You get up in Sydney at 6am in order to be at another hotel in time to catch a coach that takes you to a further hotel to wait for the coach that is your coach for the day. By this time you are back near to your own hotel.
There are other people waiting. They are bedraggled, as it is raining. They have empty faces. This could be through tiredness or jet lag or both.
