Does anyone live at Uluru

Answer 1

Uluru lies within a National park: no one lives within the National park. Whilst there used to be four small motels about a kilometre from the base of the Rock, concerns about the lack of control over tourism and the degradation to Uluru forced their closure.

Now, the closest people can live to Uluru is the tourist settlement of Yulara, about 15 km from Uluru, which has a permanent population that fluctuates between 800 and 900.

The Anangu people are regarded as the traditional owners of Uluru, previously known as Ayers Rock. The "ownership" of Uluru was returned to the Anangu in 1985, along with KataTjuta, formerly The Olgas. The National Park is now co-managed by a board made up of Anangu and piranpa members, with their roles and responsibilities set out in both the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) and the Aboriginal Land Rights Act (NT) 1976.

Answer 3

No. Koalas cannot live around Uluru because there are no eucalyptus trees around Uluru.

Koalas are found only the eastern mainland states, and their range does not extend inland as far as the desert.

The indigenous people traditionally used Uluru as a centre for their ceremonies, as it was and is considered a sacred site by the Aboriginal people.

In modern times, Uluru is a tourist attraction, visited by people from around the world.
