Sentences T (true) or F (false). National Park
Uluru-kala Tjuta
No trip to central Australia is complete without a visit to
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. The park covers 1,325
square kilometres and contains Uluru, a 348-metre-high
rock. Uluru is very important to the native people of the
area, the Anangu. It is part of their cultural history and
traditional beliefs. The Anangu people believe they mustn't
climb Uluru, but they don't stop visitors from going up.
However, they prefer them to walk around the bottom of
the rock. In the park there is a cultural centre with
information and activities for visitors. Here visitors can find
guides who can take them around Uluru and tell them
about the history of the rock. Walks around Uluru take
about 3 hours. Visitors must have water with them and
should drink one litre of water for every hour they walk.
They also shouldn't walk during the hottest time of the
day. There are walking paths in the park and it's a good
idea for them to stay on the paths so as not to get lost or
disturb the park's ecosystem. They should also wear long
trousers and protective boots in case they come across a
snake.
The park is open from 5 am to 9 pm in the summer and
6:30 am to 7:30 pm in the winter. Camping is not allowed
inside the park, but there are many hotels just outside of
the park. A day at Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is an
unforgettable adventure in the great Australian outback.
