Walks in the Park
Uluru Walks
Base of Uluru
This walk reveals the natural beauty and rich culture of Uluru. You will be following the footsteps of the ancestral beings that shaped the landscape, and by choosing to walk around Uluru instead of climbing, you will be respecting Tjukurpa and Anangu wishes. Starting at the cultural centre, proceed down the Liru Track. Continue clockwise around the base of Uluru, returning to the cultural centre via the Liru Track. If you choose instead to start the base walk at either the Mala or Kuniya car parks, please visit the cultural centre first for important safety advice, cultural knowledge and general information.
