Mala poo paper

For a one-of-a-kind memento, take home some mala poo paper!

The paper is made from droppings collected in our mala paddock, an enclosure that helps protect these threatened marsupials.

You can contribute to mala conservation by making a donation at the info desk in exchange for this very unusual paper.

Picnic area

The picnic area behind the Cultural Centre has an uninterrupted view of Uluṟu and is a great spot for a meal in the great outdoors. There are picnic tables, gas barbecues and plenty of shelter.
