If you stay at Mt Connor or Curtin springs you would have to leave the dog there for most of the day while you drive to Uluru and Kata Juta, look around, and drive back again. There has been a dog whimpering and crying for several hours in the caravan park where we are at present, he is "home alone", its upsetting to hear.

I abhor people who do that sort of thing to their little mates. Sorry if this upsets anyone but most dogs are better people than most people and they deserve to be looked after.

Mr google says 24.7ks....36mins...Hope this helps Jenny...
PS..well worth the trip along with Kings Canyon...Unfortunately ,don't know the pet status for the canyon.......Alan...
I took my dog with me when I went. Figured that even if I couldn't go in I would still be able to see it. No way. No pay and go in gate then no see. Don't even bother.
No. Only a vague look. Its all blocked off with the resort buildings and that's the closest you can get. If I ever get that way again I'll hide Molly in the van. Sick to death of not seeing anything. 600ks for nothing thank you very much.
Hehe...I used to enjoy sticking it up the gate people back in '09 when I had a staff pass for Ngaanyatjarra Council and could pass through their checkpoint AND their stupid National Park with impunity and without paying a cent. They really didn't like letting me through with three dogs in the vehicle either. Ripoff Rock was on the way to my place of employment a further 450 (odd) kms down the track.

I am going to the rock myself with two dogs. A friend told me that you can stay at Ayers rock caravan park and if you talk to people that have dogs you may be able to do a swap, I'll mind yours for a day and then you mind mine. I am going with a friend, so if we have to, we will do a day each and one of us will mind the fur babies. Apparently you have to be very careful of dingos and not leave your dog unattended after dark, especially a little dog. They used to have dog minding at the park but something happened and they no longer do it.
you so called dog lovers amaze me --you have been told about the caravan parks and their rules... and then someone tells you about dingos but you still take the poor dogs there,,,wake up people
So Judith what's your beef with Dingos considering your knowledge on dogs in general equates to the annual snowfall in Darwin. If I owned a dog which whined as often as you do I'd be off to the vet quick smart as continuous whining and snapping at imaginary things is a sure sign of a serious malady. And NO I won't share my bikkies with you.
The caravan park at the resort allows dogs, the dingo's have been at Ayres Rock Resort for many many years, whilst I would not take a dog there in a tent in the motorhome would not worry me too much, are you also suggesting that people in Metropolitan Darwin not have dogs?...I ask because at certain times of the year there are dingo's wandering around the suburbs, one soon realises this and acts responsibly and accordingly...
Reciprical dog sitting is a great and works well I have found.

We will be there sometime next year, and we will be travelling with 3 medium sized dogs, if my husband and I have to take it in turns to see things we will, but I do like the idea of babysitting. My dogs will be contained in a crate at night in our annexe or in the camper trailer with us. This forum is so helpful for raw recruits planning their trip of a lifetime.
A little late in reply. There are specific muzzles for,dogs re 1080. They can drink through the muzzles but not pick up food. My dogs don't like it, but I reward them and tell them how great they are!!! You can be miles from a baiting area, and birds will spread the bait.
My preference is to muzzle them when in doubt.
They do adapt to it, and better than the consequences.
