Heavy rainfall impacted Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park yesterday. It resulted in water over a number of roads and a closure of the park for safety.
The park has reopened to visitors and we’re pleased to advise that the Uluṟu Ring Road and the Muṯitjulu Waterhole access road have reopened.
There is still water over the road in several locations and motorists are advised to proceed with caution. Road closures for Tjukaruru Road (Docker River Road) at the Kata-Tjuṯa Road intersection remain in place. For more information and latest advice visit .
All walking tracks are open however we ask visitors to exercise caution, remain on marked tracks and paths at all times and take care on potentially slippery surfaces.
We thank visitors and tourism operators for their patience, understanding and continued support during this weather event.
This non-venomous python grows to about 1.5 metres in length. It varies from pale brown to nearly black and has stripes that can appear olive, orange or even pink.
Woma pythons prey on a variety of lizards, ground birds and small mammals. They mostly catch their prey in burrows, using a loop of their body to pin the animal against a wall of the burrow.
They are mostly nocturnal, spending the day resting in logs or under leaves.
Known as kuniya to Aṉangu, the woma python is a very important creation ancestor, and the Kuniya and Liru story is one of the major Tjukurpa stories.
