Uluru Ayers Rock Australia

Details

Description

Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone rock formation located in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in the Northern Territory of Australia. It is considered one of Australia's most iconic natural landmarks and is sacred to the local Indigenous people, the Anangu.

Uluru stands at 348 meters (1,142 feet) high, and is over 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) long and 1.5 kilometers (0.9 miles) wide. It is famous for its changing colors, especially during sunrise and sunset, when the rock appears to glow with shades of red and orange.

The Anangu people have lived in the area around Uluru for thousands of years, and it is an important cultural site for them. Visitors to the park are encouraged to learn about the Anangu culture and respect their traditions and beliefs. Climbing Uluru is considered disrespectful to the Anangu people and is discouraged, although it is not strictly prohibited.
