For most of us the site of Uluru or Ayers Rock to use the European name is pretty familiar from hundreds of documentaries, postcards and photographs. The thing is that no matter how many images of the famous monolith have been seen, nothing is quite like seeing Uluru for real. Standing at the base - touching and exploring it's folds, textures, colours and mysteries, will bring a sudden understanding of why this place is so precious to it's aboriginal custodians and why it is one of the few natural wonders of the world. "The Rock" stands close to 350 metres high, however, like an iceberg most of it is below the surface.
For those that flock to Uluru each year, the monolith and surrounding national park exceed all expectations. Even the most seasoned tourists never fail to be amazed as they take in the wonder of Australia's most iconic natural attraction, as it rises from it's desert bed, changing colours and textures with the seasons and the hours of the day.
