law and traditions'. Aṉangu have kept this law for a very long time. We make sure we continue in our turn to keep our law and teach visitors about it.

 Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park provides a unique opportunity for visitors to increase their understanding of and connection to one of the oldest living cultures on earth. Learning about Aṉangu culture is one of the
 reasons why people visit the park, and Aṉangu are enthusiastic about providing authentic experiences and messages for visitors to assist with this understanding. The park also presents an opportunity to share the story about joint management.

 Well-prepared and accessible information enables visitors to understand the unique values of the park and to plan their visit and enjoy Uluṟu in a safe and appropriate way. Information and interpretation provided for visitors generally relates to the cultural and natural values of the park, about how visitors can help to protect these values, about the joint management of the park, and about visitor activities and safety. A brand and marketing strategy was developed to communicate the values of the park
 (see Section 5.3 Promotion, marketing, film and photography).

 Within the bounds of appropriate public access to cultural knowledge, Tjukurpa provides a basis for most of the park's interpretative messages and information. Aṉangu want visitors to understand how they view the landscape, with Tjukurpa as the source for information about the ecology, the plants and animals, and appropriate use of significant areas. Tjukurpa also provides the basis for enhancing visitor knowledge and appreciation of culturally appropriate behaviour, as part of the experience of visiting a jointly managed national park. Of particular importance are the restrictions on access to, and photography of certain areas (particularly sacred sites) to ensure visitors do not inadvertently contravene Tjukurpa.

 The park's native plants and animals are protected under the EPBC Act. As such interpretative messages also include information about the natural environment, including not interfering with native flora and fauna or removing rocks, soil or stones.

 The park provides a range of information and educational activities for tour groups, independent travelers and school groups. This includes:
   •      pre-visit information through publications, the tourism industry, Parks Australia's website and social media

   •      the Cultural Centre

   •      park visitor guides, brochures and publications

   •      commercial tour operations

   •      interpretative and regulatory signage

   •      displays, videos and interpretation activities by Aṉangu and rangers.
   The Cultural Centre is the main outlet within the park that provides information and activities to visitors. It is where the majority of cultural and educational talks and activities take place and it also supports a number of Aṉangu enterprises. Given the significance of the Cultural Centre as an information hub, Aṉangu suggest that visitors
