View from the Mala walk, beautiful footpath around the famous Mount Uluru in the Red Centre, Northern Territory, Australia.

From the base of the climbing point at Uluṟu (2km return, one hour), interpretive signs explain the tjukurpa (Aboriginal law, religion and custom) of the Mala (hare-wallaby people), which is significant to the Anangu. There are also fine examples of rock art. A free ranger-guided walk runs along this route every morning from the car park.
