Most people can recognise the iconic image of Uluru even if they don’t know exactly where or what it is. This surreal monolith of red sandstone rises abruptly out of the flat Australian desert very close to the geographical centre of the country.
.
Uluru, as it is known to the indigenous Aboriginal people, is a very sacred place. But visitors from around the world who come for an Ayers Rock tour have no trouble relating to the magic and power of this formation.
.
Uluru is easily one of Australia’s most recognisable landmarks. It rises 348 meters above the ground, but the bulk of this rock, which has a circumference of nearly 10 miles, lies underground. In geological terms, it is known as an island mountain. Such is its rarity and majesty that UNESCO has placed Uluru on its World Heritage sites list.
