Take the Lungkata Track to Mutitjulu Waterhole, home of Wanampi, an ancestral water snake. In the special times of rain, experience the magical waterfalls. In the warmer months watch the noisy finches and nankeen kestrels soaring on the thermals. For the keen bird watcher, you may spot nesting black breasted buzzards or tawny frogmouths.
Travel into the National Park from Yulara and head to the Mala car park (signposted) at the base of Uluru.
