The traditional land of the Anangu Aboriginal people encompasses two of Australia’s culturally significant landmarks, Uluru and Kata Tjuta. A site of deep cultural significance to the local Anangu Aboriginals, Uluru is one of Australia’s most famous icons of the Australian outback.

Uluru is a 3.6 km long rock that rises a towering 348 m from the flat surrounding scrub, and is especially impressive at dawn and sunset when the red rock changes hues in a spectacular show. There are a number of walks around the base of the rock passing caves, rock art and sacred Aboriginal sites.

Kata Tjuta
Nearby Kata Tjuta (formerly the Olgas), 32 km west of Uluru, are equally impressive monoliths, with Mount Olga being actually much higher than Uluru. The Valley of the Winds is a worthy 6 km circuit or the shorter Walpa Gorge Walk (2.6 km return).

There is an excellent cultural centre located within the park. There are a number of walks throughout the national park that caters for different fitness levels. There is a park entry fee, which provides a 3 day pass into the national park.

There are also tours with traditional Aboriginal Guides, conducted by the multi award winning Anangu Tours. Check out our tours page for their contact details.
