From gorgeous parrots to wildflower meadows, the desert environment of Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa is home to a surprising amount of life.

Our five seasons shape the lives of countless plants as well as hundreds of bird, reptile and other animal species. You can even find frogs living in the sand among our remarkable geological formations.

Many animals have important cultural meanings for Aṉangu, while the park’s plants provide food, medicine and a variety of traditional tools.
