I don't have an answer re ayres rock, but it seems remote area's aren't so strict on dog rules (in Nat Parks). We were told we couldn't take our dog to Morton Island, when we got off the barge, there were three dogs there to greet us and two of them stayed with us most of the time we were there? (1 week). Also you would be amazed at the amount of park rangers living within the park they manage, that have dogs.
I was driving through a NP in west Syd with my dog in the back of the 4wd, and was told by the ranger that he should fine me $200 but he let me off with a warning.
My advise would be to leave the dog with friends rather than limit your access and miss out on the NP's or take the dog and book it in to kennels in the area you are visiting if you intend on going into NP's.

We stock and sell a useful book called "Holidaying with Dogs". It lists caravan parks, camping grounds etc that welcome dogs and within it is a listing of dog sitters to assist when you need to visit NP areas. The listing for Uluru is for an Alice Springs company that states they pick up from your van park/motel and will deliver back to you in Alice Springs area. Phone 08 8952 4729. Small Animal Transport and Dog Trainers.By the way, there is no way you will get past the checkpoint gate with the dog in the car. Bush camping is allowed outside of the realms of Yulara but its about a 30min drive from that area right to the Rock. Don't forget Alice is a day's drive from Yulara and Uluru (about 6hrs). It might be worthwhile leaving your pup with the dog sitter for at least one night whilst you do a relaxed visit out the rock. Hope this helps you.

Dear Dianne, We went to Ayers Rock a couple of years ago with our dog. At the time you could take your dog to the rock and walk around it with your dog on a lead. I don't know if this is still the case. You could take it in turns to see the rock while the other dog sits at the camp site if not. Be aware that baiting for dingoes is common on station properties so do ensure that your dog does not roam---especially if you are bush camping. Hope this helps. Nadia
