We took a day off after the long walk, and visited the National Park Cultural Center. It was very interesting with history, folklore, etc. However, much of the display was the abstract artwork portraying ceremonial ritual. Photos were not allowed. We took just a short walk nearby on the Liru Walk. A different view, different light, it was still stunning.

We got there by shuttle. The driver said nothing of photo restrictions, so I took advantage. As noted earlier, I don't doubt that it's done all the time.

The tourism "town center" of Yulara was created when it was decided that facilities originally up close to the Rock couldn't accommodate the number of visitors and were having a negative impact. It was well designed to fit in with, not overwhelm the environment or impact the scenery. We enjoyed our stay there.

Afternoon tours to the other rock formations, the Kata Tjuta, were not available, but the tourism office directed us to an overlook from the cell phone tower area.
