Listed as one of UNESCO World Heritage sites for natural and cultural landscape, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is one of the most famous sites in Australia. Located in the south of Darwin and stretching about 1,326 square kilometers, the park has two features like the name suggests Uluru and Kata Tjuta.

Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone rock formation, sacred to the Aboriginal people of the area known as Pitjantjatjara Anangu. It stands about 348 in height and was famous for changing the color at different times of the day and year, most notably as it glows red at dawn and sunset.

Kata Tjuta is a group of large, domed rock formations located about 25 kilometers west to Uluru. It covers an area of 21.68 kilometers, also scared to the Aboriginal people Pitjantjatjara Anangu. Anangu women do not go to Kata Tjuta.

Even though it is located in the desert area, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is home to an extensive range of flora and fauna: 73 species of reptiles, 178 species of birds, more than 21 species of native mammals, and 418 species of native plants. 

It is a must-see when visiting Australia.
