  Uluru Cultural Centre - entrance of the buildings
by vtveen
 
 

Although limited in time , ‘of course’ we visited the Cultural Centre in the National Park. I think every visitor of this special place should do so, because the centre is an important introduction to the Aborigional (Anangu and Tjukurpa) culture of this part of Australia.

The two remarkable buildings, a couple of km’s away from Uluru, are housing displays with photos, artefacts and videos, sound panels and much more to understand more of the significance of Uluru for the Aborigines.

You can have a drink or snack in a café, the office of Anangu Tours, you can buy souvenirs and there is an excellent art gallery with fantastic works of local Aborigines and an Art Centre. If you are interested in Aboriginal art or crafts, you really should buy something here (see 'shopping tip').

The Cultural Centre is opened daily from 7.00 am till 6.00 pm. Photography or video recording is not permitted at the Cultural Centre. Around the centre are picnic places with barbecue facilities.

Directions: Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park; in the heart of the Red Centre and Australia.
