The isolated town of Yulara is well-known as the gateway to the world heritage listed sites Uluru and Kata Tjuta.

It's also well-known as AFL territory, but in a twist, it's just become home to a somewhat unexpected sports team.

For the first time in two decades, there has been a fresh attempt to create a local rugby league team in Yulara.
