Community & Culture
Baillie Lodges actively seeks engagement with the communities in which each lodge is set, ranging from establishing supplier relationships with food and beverage producers, local artists and furnishing designers to supporting school education initiatives, community events and work experience programs.
This includes supporting Ernabella Arts, is the oldest, continuously running Indigenous arts centre in Australia, as well as sponsoring a ceramist teacher and ongoing education for the community, setting up quarterly artists-in-residence programs at the lodge allowing a rare cultural exchange between guests and Aboriginal artists.
Footprint
Longitude 131° is situated on privately owned land and is surrounded by Katiti Aboriginal Land and the dual World Heritage listed Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. A host of measures has been undertaken to protect the unique environmental and cultural heritage of the area.
Longitude 131° has been carefully designed to have minimal impact on the delicate natural environment. Guest tents are designed to ‘float’ above the sandy desert floor, as well as being designed with a focus on energy thermal efficiency to enhance cooling in summer and insulation in winter.
