Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park

NOTE: Do not enter the Mutitjulu Community or any Sacred sites without Authority. All the information you ever want on Culture is available at the Cultural Centre and it's well worth the visit. Also, don't take photos of Sacred Sites they are well signposted, and don't take photographs of people without their permission. It's just courtesy.

Unless you're well-equipped with an appropriate vehicle, supplies and maps, stay on the sealed roads. Keep an eye on your fuel supply before you set off anywhere.

Keep plenty of water with you at all times while you're hiking. Whether or not you're thirsty, stop for a drink at least once an hour. The temperatures can be extreme during the summer particularly December to January. Wear a hat and don't be shy with the sunscreen. Expect to be annoyed by flies, particularly on some stretches of the Valley of the Winds walk.

Wear comfortable walking / hiking shoes. Some of the terrain you may be traversing will be steep and covered with loose stones. Thongs, flip-flops, boat-shoes, and loafers are not recommended for the Uluru Climb, the Valley of the Winds walk, nor the Gorge walk. Runners sneakers are acceptable.
