Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park - Central Australia
Located within the traditional land of the Anangu Aboriginal people is the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, home to sites of deep cultural significance to the local Anangu Aboriginal people and two of Australia's culturally significant landmarks, Uluru and Kata Tjuta.

Uluru
The world renowned Uluru is a 3.6 km long rock that towers 348 m from the flat surrounding scrubland, favoured by tourists as a must see attractions, which is especially impressive at sunrise and sunset when the red rock changes hues in a spectacular show. Equally impressive are when Uluru is shrouded in fog or enveloped in rain, with streams and mini waterfalls pouring down the side of the rock. When the light is just right, Uluru glistens a silvery hue. There is of course more to Uluru, with a number of walks around the base of the rock passing caves and rock art.

Kata Tjuta
Nearby Kata Tjuta (formerly the Olgas), is just 32 km west of Uluru, and is just as equally an impressive sight, 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. Visitors can book themselves on some of the local tours with traditional Aboriginal Guides, conducted by the multi award winning Anangu Tours. Check out our tours page for their contact details. There is a park entry fee, which provides a 3 day pass into the national park.
