Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is located 1431 kilometres south of Darwin by road and 440 kilometres (270 mi) south-west of Alice Springs along the Stuart and Lasseter Highways. The park covers 1,326 square kilometres (512 sq mi). The location is listed with UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Uluru is Australia’s most recognizable natural icon and has become a focal point for Australia and the world's acknowledgement of Australian Indigenous culture.
Kata Tjuta, meaning ‘many heads’, is a sacred place relating to knowledge that is considered very powerful and dangerous, only suitable for initiated men. It is made up of a group of 36 conglomerate rock domes that date back 500 million years.
Anangu are the traditional Aboriginal owners of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. They believe that their culture was created at the beginning of time by ancestral beings. Uluru and Kata Tjuta provide physical evidence of feats performed during the creation period. They often lead walking tours to inform visitors about the local flora and fauna, bush foods and the Aboriginal Dreamtime stories of the area.
The park has a hot desert climate and receives an average rainfall of 284.6 mm (11.2 in) per year. There was a light rain when we visited Uluru but it was sunny the next day when we visited the Olgas.
The coordinates were taken at the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park entrance post.
