Nationaal park Uluṟu–Kata Tjuṯa (Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park)

Het Nationaal park Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa (Engels: Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park) ligt in het Australische Noordelijk Territorium, in een gebied in het centrum van het land dat ook wel het Rode Centrum genoemd wordt. Het is vooral bekend vanwege de aanwezigheid van de rots Uluṟu (vroeger bekend als Ayers Rock). Naast Uluṟu bevindt zich in het park ook de rotsformatie Kata Tjuṯa (voorheen: The Olgas).
In 1985 is dit gebied door de Australische regering teruggeven aan de Anangu, de oorspronkelijke bewoners. Zij hebben het gebied teruggeleased aan de regering voor een periode van 99 jaar. Het onderhoud en management van het park wordt door de Anangu zelf uitgevoerd.
Bij het park is een resort gebouwd waar de bezoekers kunnen overnachten en waar diverse voorzieningen aanwezig zijn.
Het park is op meerdere manieren te bereiken:

Met het vliegtuig: bij het resort is een vliegveld aanwezig waarvandaan directe vluchten naar diverse grote steden in Australië plaatsvinden.
Met de auto: vanaf zowel Darwin als Adelaide kan men over de Stuart Highway en de Lasseter Highway het park bereiken.
Met de bus: vanaf Alice Springs en andere grote steden zijn er busverbindingen naar het park.

  • The three-day pass For unlimited entries(need to be out by 19:30) of the park is 38AU$ for adults. Great place to hike and sightsee. The Uluru base walk is moderate and about 10k, make sure you use the loo before the walk. Drink plenty of water, there are a two water stations, one at the start and one at the mid-point. Definitely go and do the Mala walk where a ranger takes you and explains the history and stories of the Uluru, very fascinating. It’s available everyday at 10am at the car park meeting point. The Olga has two routes. The Walpa gorge is quite moderate and doesn’t take long; it also has a nice sunset viewing area nearby. The valley of the winds walk on the other hand is quite difficult in some areas but would be okay for most people. (Check out the photo with the route)

  • Three days proved to be a little less to enjoy all that this park has to offer. We witnessed dramatically different sunsets and sunrises in just three days. Be sure to start with the cultural centre and pick up the trekking maps. Google maps is not accurate. Get the park tickets online.

  • Uluru Kata-Tjuta National Park is a must visit destination in Australia. The landscapes are out of this world. We stayed for a week to really soak in the environment and to be able to take our time with the hikes. The base walk is 10km or so and the Valley of the Winds hike is 7-8km, so a couple of days at least to achieve both. We also booked a sunrise helicopter flight which was amazing.

  • We walked around the rock Great place, but pace yourself It's a long walk. Lots to see in the park like the Olga's as well. If your a walker or explorer then this park is for you. Take plenty of drinks and walking shoes I did it in sandles but I have hard feet. All good Jim

    What a great area - no International travel so domestic travel brought forward. The whole Kata Tjuta area - fascinating & steeped in culture we all should learn about. Get out there & support these people. Also Kings Canyon - not to be missed - get up early Alice Springs - fabulous
