The Aboriginal rock art located around Uluru and Kata Tjuta is an outstanding example of people's interaction with the natural environment and is an important historic and scientific record of human occupations of the region.
Anangu painted the art found in the caves of Uluru to illustrate stories they were telling or the Tjukurpa they were teaching. Several rock shelters along the Mala and Mutitjulu walks provide visitors with the opportunity to observe evidence of this ancient tradition. The paintings are of considerable historical significance to Anangu, who continue to ensure their preservation and protection.
More information about the rock art at Uluru and Kata Tjuta can be found on our art page or when you visit the Cultural centre.
