Uluru, Rock formation in Australia
Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone rock formation in the southern part of the Northern Territory in central Australia.
It has been inhabited by indigenous Australians for at least 30,000 years.
Uluru is sacred to the Pitjantjatjara Anangu, the Aboriginal people of the area.
The area around the formation is home to an abundance of springs, waterholes, rock caves and ancient paintings.
Uluru is notable for appearing to change colour at different times of the day and year, most notably when it glows red at dawn and sunset.
