Mutitjulu Waterhole

Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park

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.

Easy walk. Winter morning is the best timing!

Our arrival time gave us only the midday option. Still, there are always some shady spots.

A big day at Uluru, including the summit walk, finished with circumnavigating the base, which included the Lungkata Walk to Mutitjulu Waterhole.
