Talinguru Nyakunytjaku Sunrise Viewing Area
Talinguru Nyakunytjaku
The official sunrise viewing area on a dune south-east of Uluru; its two platforms show Uluru and, in the distance, Kata Tjuta.
The viewing area is built on a dune about 3 km south-east of Uluru. Two viewing platforms are connected by a walkway. Before and after sunrise you can watch Uluru turn from deep purple to orange-red, and the silhouette of Kata Tjuta is visible on the horizon. Beside the platforms are interpretive signs by Anangu people about desert life. The national park pass is valid for 3 days. It is recommended to set off one hour before sunrise, whether driving yourself or joining a sunrise tour. Winter mornings are very cold, so bring a warm jacket.
