What to expect from Uluru in September

Cave Art Tour Uluru

Uluru in September means warmer temperatures ranging from 10°c to 28°c, making it a comfortable time for exploring the iconic landmarks of the region, including the spectacular Kata Tjuta. If you want to spend long, daytime hours diving into the natural wonders, cultural significance and breathtaking scenery of this UNESCO World Heritage-listed site, then this is the month to do it.

 

Getting to Know Kata Tjuta

Kata Tjuta – meaning ‘many heads’ in the local Anangu language, is a collection of large, domed rock formations located about 30 kilometres west of Uluru. Kata Tjuta allows you to experience the full diversity and grandeur of the desert landscape, with different walking trails giving unique perspectives of these ancient rock formations.

The amazing Valley of the Winds walk is one of the more popular Kata Tjuta tours. This moderately challenging hike takes you through a maze of majestic towering domes and deep gorges, giving you panoramic views of the surrounding desert and distant Mount Conner. The trail threads through multiple landscape types, showcasing unique flora and providing opportunities to spot wildlife along the way.

A visit to Kata Tjuta also helps you understand the area’s important cultural significance to Anangu. Guided tours almost always include storytelling by local guides, who share traditional knowledge about Tjukurpa and the spiritual connection of Kata Tjuta to the land and people. Learning Aboriginal culture truly enhances the spiritual wonder of this sacred site.
