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.
Honey grevillea is a straggly shrub with long, narrow leaves.
This plant grows up to two metres tall. In spring and winter it produces long spikes of bright yellow and green flowers, which attract nectar-eating birds.
Culture
The flowers contain thick, honey-like nectar which can be sucked directly from the flowers (a favourite treat for Aṉangu children). Aṉangu also soak the flowers in water to make a sweet cordial-like drink.
