The Culture

The culture of Uluru and the Red Centre is deeply rooted in the traditions and stories of the Aṉangu people, who have lived in this area for tens of thousands of years. The Aṉangu consider Uluru and Kata Tjuta sacred sites, central to their spiritual beliefs and Dreamtime stories (Tjukurpa), which explain the creation of the land and its features. These stories are passed down through generations and are shared with visitors through guided tours led by Aṉangu custodians.

The History

Uluru’s history spans tens of thousands of years as a sacred site for the Aṉangu people. Archaeological evidence suggests humans have inhabited this area for at least 30,000 years. According to Aṉangu beliefs, Uluru was formed during the Dreamtime by ancestral beings whose actions shaped the land. For centuries, these stories have guided Aṉangu life and their stewardship of this sacred landscape.
