Yulara

Yulara is a town near the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in the south of the Northern Territory, Australia. Yulara, also known as Ayers Rock Resort, is a service town for Uluru, acting as an accommodation base for visitors to the park. It was constructed in the 1980s and is just outside the national park boundaries.

There are 4 lookouts in the 'town' area of Yulara, which give awesome views out onto the National Park. Each of the hotels/camp grounds have a lookout close to them, being the Emu Lookout for Desert Gardens, Emu Walk apartments, Lost Camel and Sails in the Desert, Pioneer Lookout for the Outback Pioneer Hotel and Naninga Lookout for the Ayers Rock Resort Campground. There is also another look out in the middle of Yulara Drive, called the Imalung Lookout.

Additionally there is a look out in the coach campground area, should you be travelling on a coach camping tour. This gives an awesome view of the resort, as well as Uluru and Kata Tjuta.

For an idea of the wildlife in the National Park, visit the Visitors Centre, located next door to the Desert Gardens Hotel. Of course, the main thing to do is to get out to Uluru and Kata Tjuta, but the look outs in the resort tend to be forgotten about - and at Sunrise and Sunset they make for a different, yet awesome, photo.
