The Uluru Biosphere Reserve is located within the Central Desert in Central Australia. Two rock formations characterize the topography of the region — Uluru (863 metres above sea level) and Kata Tjuta (1,066 metres above sea level, covering 3,500 ha).
The Uluru-Kata Tjuta landscape is one of Australia’s major symbols and is recognized as a World Heritage site of fundamental importance for humanity.
Precipitation variability and a striking difference between the summer and winter seasons characterize the climatic conditions of the reserve. Three main land systems play an important role in Uluru’s topography. The Gillen land system comprises the outcrops of both Uluru and Kata Tjuta, which have narrow gorges, gullies and creek lines. The Karee Land System consists of gently sloping plains that are adjacent to the alluvium and fans of the Gillen Land System. Lastly, the Simpson land system is the largest of the three systems and contains dune fields and sand plains.
