Six people have been injured including two women who were hospitalised when lightning struck a sunset lookout area at the Ayers Rock Resort.
The group were watching the sun go down over Uluru at about 7.30pm on Monday on a hill in the town of Yulara when lightning hit the viewing platform.
Calls were made to triple zero and an emergency response was quickly organised from Alice Springs 450km away, a St John Ambulance Northern Territory spokeswoman said.
Two women were flown by the Royal Flying Doctor Service with St John Ambulance paramedics to Alice Springs hospital.
They remained in the emergency department there on Tuesday in a stable condition with non-life threatening injuries, a health department spokeswoman said.
The other four affected people were treated at the scene.
