From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yulara is an isolated town in the Northern Territory of Australia, with approximately 3,000 inhabitants. More than three quarters of the residents of Yulara are from either overseas or another Australian state. The name is derived from a local Aboriginal word for howling and dingos. Located 18 kilometres by road from world heritage site Uluru and 55 kilometres from Kata Tjuta, Yulara was created in 1984 as an infrastructure hub to support tourism to the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.
