It is the community of the Pitjantjatjara aboriginal people and there are some significant sites of aboriginal rock paintings in the area. Travellers to Uluru like to stop in to Kulgera on the way for rest and refreshment at the pub. Places to visit in the region are the Rainbow Valley Conservation Reserve, the Henbury Meteorites and Mount Blatherskite.
