Fishing near Yulara, Northern Territory

Yulara sits in the arid Red Centre of the Northern Territory, deep in the outback near Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. This is not traditional fishing country — the surrounding landscape is desert, and the nearby creeks such as Britten Jones (Ulaipanya) Creek are ephemeral watercourses that flow only after significant rainfall. Fishing is not a feature of the local scene here the way it is in the Top End or along the NT's coastal and tidal river systems.
