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.

Camping in the great outdoors is the perfect way to connect with the landscapes of Central Australia.

There is nowhere to camp in the national park, but the nearby Ayers Rock Resort at Yulara has a fantastic campground with all the facilities you need for a comfortable stay.

Further afield, Curtin Springs offers the unique experience of camping on a working outback cattle station.
