Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park has reopened to visitors, however, several road closures remain in place due to water over the road in a number of locations. Visitors and tourism operators may re-enter the park, but are advised to proceed with caution and drive slowly through any water on the road.
National park staff, in coordination with local agencies, are actively monitoring conditions and implementing road closures to ensure visitor safety.
The following roads remain closed until further notice:
- Uluṟu Ring Road between the Mala Carpark and Muṯitjulu Turn Off
- Access road to Muṯitjulu Waterhole.
Muṯitjulu residents, staff and workers can continue to enter community with access via the southern road only.
Conditions will be reassessed at 9 am ACST on 17 March with an update provided shortly after.
Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park is home to more than 400 different plants, including several rare species.
The park’s vegetation ranges from eucalypt woodlands to spinifex grasslands and supports a huge variety of wildlife.
Many of these plants have cultural importance as a source of food, tools, medicine and fuel for Traditional Owners.
To help preserve and care for the fragile environment at Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park, we ask that all visitors keep to marked tracks and do not walk through or over vegetation. We also ask visitors not to break branches, flowers, or fruit off trees or plants.
