Uluru visitors will not find the Red Center quite what they expected at
the moment after heavy rain across the region have transformed one of
Australia's most famous icons. More than 50 millimetres of rain fell in
the Uluru Kata-Tjuta Park in Central Australia, creating waterfalls off
the famous monolith. The park's manager, Christine Burke, says the area
is coming alive in a rare treat for people travelling to the area
outside the traditional tourist season.

"It's something that a lot of people actually wouldn't experience,
seeing the park at this time of year when it is green and the plants are
really shooting and the flowers are coming out," He said. "So it is a
very exciting time for people to come out to the park.
The park is looking absolutely spectacular. The Spinifex has turned very
green and what you can see now is all the trees and the plants are
starting to shoot and grow new growth so the flowers are starting to
come out. "It's a very exciting time at the park now to see what happens
after we have a good rain and it looks beautiful." The heavy rains cut
off many parts of the region this week and some roads are only now
starting to dry out.

it is a dry region, the large area of these domes collects a lot of
rainwater, which runs off in steep waterfalls during rain. Photo — Link |
