Education/Communication/SensibilisationParks Australia partnered with global tech giant Google to showcase the walking trails and spectacular vistas of Uluru-Kata Tjuta, Kakadu and Christmas Island National Parks, and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands to a global audience.

Activit�s visant � influencer et/ou promouvoir les politiquesThe significant decision to close the Uluru climb on 26 October 2019 represents the fulfilment of the long-held wishes of Anangu, the traditional owners of Uluru-Kata Tjuta. The date for closing the climb, 26 October, is significant to Anangu as it was on this date in 1985 that the park was handed back to them. The closure of the climb is an opportunity to create new visitor experiences based on cultural and natural values, and to set a new direction and future for the park. This aligns with the Board’s vision that Uluru–Kata Tjuta is a place where Anangu law and culture is kept strong for future generations.Completed
