⛰️ Kata Tjuṯa means ‘many heads’ — a fitting name for the 36 massive domes that rise from the surrounding desert.

While Uluṟu may be the park’s most famous landmark, Kata Tjuṯa is just as remarkable and forms an important part of the living cultural landscape of Uluṟu–Kata Tjuṯa National Park.

Its valleys, rocky slopes and sheltered areas support a variety of plants and wildlife adapted to the arid environment.

For Aṉangu, Kata Tjuṯa is a deeply significant place connected to Tjukurpa, culture and Country.

If you’re visiting the park, take the time to experience this extraordinary place with respect. ❤️💛🖤

Great Barrier Reef coral cover increased between 2025-26 after monsoon rains cooled waters and reduced heat stress, tells the latest report by the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS).
But the Reef needs more than luck in the weather to battle climate change...

🪸Coral regrowth has occurred off the back of two mass bleaching events in the 2024-25 and 2025-26 summers.
🪸2024-25 was dubbed by scientists as “the worst summer on record” for the Reef because it was battling extreme ocean temperatures, two cyclones, severe flooding and crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks.
🪸The report shows us that because of these increasing cycles of disturbance, coral cover is swinging between highs and lows, becoming more volatile as a direct result of climate change.
🪸Climate change is the greatest threat to the Reef. Monitoring is essential and these reports must lead to stronger government action.

The Australian Government must cut climate pollution and reject new fossil fuel projects like Woodside's Browse gas proposal as research shows its emissions would cause millions more coral deaths on the Great Barrier Reef.
