World Heritage Journey

Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is a famous and awe-inspiring UNESCO World Heritage Site located in central Australia. Formerly known as Ayer's Rock, Uluru is an enormous red sandstone monolith that rises 348m above the surrounding desert, while nearby Kata Tjuta is a similar domed sandstone rock formation. Uluru is an icon of Australia, and genuinely one of the most impressive World Heritage Sites I've ever visited. But it's not just spectacular, it's also a Mixed World Heritage Site, as it's sacred to the local Anangu indigenous people. Come along as we explore both the incredible beauty of Uluru-Kata Tjuta, and its rich cultural heritage as well!

Great story Joel! I learned quite a lot from this that I didn't know. You covered it from several different angles. Great job!

Every summer gets the spectacular lightning storms in Uluru - Kata Tjuṯa and please be careful of the cloud to ground lightning strikes. Lightning is very dangerous but it is beautiful to watch in the sky when it rains with the heavy dark clouds. There are so many of the cloud to ground lightning strikes in the Uluru - Kata Tjuṯa and it is so awesome to watch the lightning storms during the summer monsoon season November to February and into March. I love to watch the spectacular lightning storms in in the Australia’s Northern Territory.

Hi, Awesome video! I loved it. I would love to see the Country name [Uluru-Kata National Park (country name)]. Please use a Boya mic it will give you freedom to use both of your hands, as I saw you are holding the headphone on one hand. Will be waiting for more videos like this!

can someone please tell me how different groups of people value this site differently

@lahavmorris 6 years ago (edited)

Ins't 348 meters already enough to be considered a hill?

I’m actually so so gutted that you can no longer walk up there :( how close are you allowed to get though? (Like can you see the rock art?)

It’s not safe there. There are snakes, spiders and man-eating sheep.
