  • Longitude 131° | an Introduction Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park at a Glance
    Longitude 131° | An Introduction Timeless and enriching, Baillie Lodges’ Longitude 131° offers guests immersion in the World Heritage listed wilderness of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, complete with earthy luxury and private views of Uluru (Ayers Rock). Since initially opening under Voyages management in June 2002, Longitude 131° has attracted widespread international and domestic acclaim. It was one of the first developments approved under the Commonwealth Environment Protection & Biodiversity Conservation Act and has established world best practices that ecotourism operators around the world now strive to match. Longitude 131° was approved following extensive consultations with the Central Land Council and Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority that included cultural mapping studies to confirm there were no sacred sites in the area. In depth flora and fauna surveys were also undertaken to protect vulnerable species such as the Mulgara (a small native marsupial), the Great Desert Skink and the Marsupial Mole. Devastated by bushfires in October 2003, the property was re-built with meticulous attention to detail. In particular, the use and transport of prefabricated structures and light-weight machinery minimised impacts on the delicate ecology, which was in a vital stage of regeneration. Longitude 131° is arguably one of the finest and most exclusive luxury wilderness camps in the world, offering discerning travellers an experience unlike any other in Australia. It is also accredited as ‘Advanced ecoCERTIFIED’ under Ecotourism Australia’s internationally recognised certification program. Longitude 131° joined the Baillie Lodges portfolio of luxury lodges in 2013, as a sister to Capella Lodge, Lord Howe Island and Southern Ocean Lodge, Kangaroo Island.
