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.

Join our fun and organic dot-painting workshop!

Dot painting workshops are currently being hosted by Muṯitjulu Community-owned businesses Ininti Cafe & Walkatjara Arts.

Sit down with a local Aṉangu artist and interpreter to learn about ancient symbols, traditional tools for hunting and gathering and more.

Get inspired by the storytelling of the creation time (Tjukurpa) to create your very own work of art in this absorbing and often therapeutic adventure for everyone.

“We the Aṉangu are the descendants of the traditional inhabitants of the lands of central Australia. We are driven by our desire to preserve and pass on our cultural knowledge through our art. Our traditions have sustained our cultural, social, spiritual and economic life over hundreds of generations.”

- Kunmanara Patterson

The Uluṟu Dot Painting Experience, presented by Muṯitjulu Community-owned businesses Ininti Café & Walkatjara Art, is an immersive and premium 1.5 hour experience for group bookings.

This event takes place within the Ininti Café at the Cultural Centre in an exclusive upstairs space offering breathtaking views of Uluṟu. Guests are guided by a respected Walkatjara Artist from Muṯitjulu, alongside a knowledgeable Walkatjara Arts narrator, who invites guests to connect with the ancient Aṉangu wisdom of the land.

Guests will hear stories in the native Pitjantjatjara language translated into English and discover traditional symbols that hold the spirit of the Aṉangu people. Each guest leaves with a unique canvas keepsake created with the guidance of the Walkatjara team.

A curated Ininti Morning Tea is also available throughout the experience, serviced by a dedicated Ininti Host.

Our team looks forward to the opportunity to present this unforgettable cultural experience to you.
