  Cool season

  1 Mai – 31 Ago · normalmenteEstação secaLotadoReserve cedo

  The months the walks are comfortable all day and the sunrise viewing platforms are full by half five. Yulara has a fixed number of beds and no competition, so this is when they cost the most and sell out first.

  Freezing desert nights

  1 Jun – 15 Ago · normalmenteFrio extremo

  The days that make winter the walking season come with nights below zero and frost on the spinifex before dawn. Sunrise viewing and the camping options both need more clothing than people bring. Fonte ↗

  Desert wildflowers

  15 Ago – 15 Out · normalmenteFlores silvestres e floradas

  If the winter rain came, the sand plains between the rock and Kata Tjuta go yellow and white with wattle and daisies for a few weeks in spring. In a dry year it does not happen at all. Fonte ↗

  Heat closures on the walks

  1 Nov – 31 Mar · normalmenteRisco

  Park rangers close the Valley of the Winds beyond the first lookout from eleven in the morning whenever the forecast hits the mid-thirties, and the same logic applies to the Uluru base walk. Summer walking means starting at first light or not at all. Fonte ↗

  Thunderstorms come off the desert in the hot months and the rock runs with waterfalls for a few hours, which is the sight nobody plans for. The same rain closes park roads and the Lasseter Highway. Fonte ↗
