Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park

Palya! | Welcome to Anangu land

This is Anangu land and you are welcome.

This land was created by our creation ancestors. In their travels they left marks in the land and made laws for us to keep and live by. Generations of Anangu have actively managed this ancient land using traditional practices and knowledge passed down through Tjukurpa - the foundation of all Anangu knowledge. This land continues to hold powerful religious and cultural connections today.

Our land is now world famous for its exceptional natural beauty. The spectacular rock formations and surrounding sand plains provide rare habitats for an incredible variety of plants and animals.

This is a place of remarkable beauty and unique cultural value which has led to the park being recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Area.

We invite you to visit Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park with your hearts and minds open to learn more about our land, beliefs and culture.
