| Yulara - Ayers Rock Resort | |
| History/Origin | The locality of Yulara takes its name from the Town which in turn derives its name from the Aboriginal word for 'howling dingo' and the associated "Dingo Dreaming". Following the Northern Territory Administration decision to establish a new town near Ayers Rock in 1975 to service the tourist industry associated with Ayers Rock and The Olgas, the Place Names Committee in consultation with the Ayers Rock Advisory Committee and local Aboriginals recommended the new town site be called Yulara. The NT Government transferred the majority of the land, roads and buildings within the Town boundary to Ayers Rock Resort Nominees Pty Ltd in August 1992. |
