Mutitjulu Waterhole is located on the southwest side of Uluru Ayers Rock. To get to Mutitjulu Waterhole, you need to go through Kuniya Walk, which is 1 km round trip and takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
Starting from Kuniya parking lot, walk along Kuniya Walk to Mutitjulu Waterhole - this is the habitat of the ancient sacred snake Wanampi.
On rainy days, you can see waterfalls along the way. On days with less water and warm weather, you can hear the calls of finches and Australian falcons. We had a clear day that day, so we didn't see the waterfall along the way, but the black part of the rock should be the trace left by the waterfall!
In the small canyon that can be deep into the Uluru rock in Mutitjulu Waterhole, there are many local Aboriginal rock paintings that record the legends of the Anangu people living in this area.
We stayed in Uluru for 4 days. We arrived in the afternoon of the first day, checked into the hotel, and went to see the sunset view of Ayers Rock (Uluru) in the evening; on the second day, we went to Kings Valley and hiked the Kings Canyon Rim Walk, which is about 6 kilometers long. We walked a total of 14 kilometers that day; on the third day, we drove around Uluru and Ayers Rock, and walked the entire Valley of the Winds Walk, one of the most challenging and worthwhile jungle hiking routes in the park, which is about 7.4 kilometers long in Kata Tjuta. In the evening, we went to Kata Tjuta Viewing Area for sightseeing. In the evening, we also tasted the seafood buffet at Sails in The Desert Hotel Yulara, which cost AUD 75 per person. We walked 18 kilometers in one day; on the fourth day, Uluru Sunrise Viewing Area After sightseeing, we visited the Aboriginal Art Gallery at the cultural center, and then took a flight to Adelaide via Melbourne in the afternoon. The entire itinerary was fully arranged, and all the necessary reservations such as air tickets and accommodation were arranged by my daughter in advance. Although we had a car, we walked 50 kilometers in 4 days (actually only 3 full days). It was an unforgettable journey, and of course we had a lot of fun!
