Kata Tjuta Dune Viewing Area

Kata Tjuta Dune Viewing

A viewing platform on a dune south-east of Kata Tjuta, where all 36 domed rocks light up at sunrise and Uluru can be seen in the distance.

The dune viewing area is beside the Kata Tjuta road. From the car park it is about 300 m along a timber boardwalk to the platform, which offers a panorama of the whole group of domed rocks, and on clear days Uluru can be seen behind them. It is the most popular sunrise spot at Kata Tjuta and is less crowded than the Uluru sunrise spot. The platform has interpretive signs on desert plants and animals. You can schedule it in the same morning as the Valley of the Winds and the Walpa Gorge Walk. Kata Tjuta also has a sunset viewing area on the western side of the rock group.
