Image:Yulara from helicopter (August 2004).jpg Yulara (Template:Coor dm) is an isolated town in Australia's Northern Territory with approximately 3,000 inhabitants. The name is derived from a local Aboriginal word for howling and dingos.
It is 17 km by road from world heritage site Uluru and 50 km from Kata Tjuta. It is located in the territory electorate of MacDonnell and the federal electorate of Lingiari.
It was created in 1984 as an infrastructure hub to support tourism to the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. The nearby Connellan Airport makes it possible to reach the area in a few hours from Sydney, Melbourne or Cairns, compared to five hours by car from Alice Springs, the nearest major town, 428 kilometres northeast.de:Yulara sv:Yulara
