On Monday 16 March, heavy rainfall impacted Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park. 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 Road Report NT.

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.

Visitors to Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park can choose from a variety of accommodation options.

There is nowhere to stay inside the national park, but plenty of options at the nearby Ayers Rock Resort, about a 10-minute drive from the park and a 10-minute drive from the airport.

The resort also has a supermarket, multiple restaurants, a hairdresser, a day spa and everything else you need to make your stay a comfortable one.
