History
Yulara was developed in the 1980s as a service town for tourists visiting Uluru. The area was chosen for its proximity to the national park, allowing easy access to the iconic rock formations. Over the years, it has evolved into a resort town with various accommodations and dining options.
In 2010, the Indigenous Land Council acquired the resort, aiming to increase Indigenous employment within the area. This shift reflects a growing recognition of the cultural significance of the land and the importance of involving local communities in tourism.
