Australia’s Uluru

Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone rock formation in central Australia. Uluru is sacred to the Aboriginal people of the area and the many springs, waterholes, rock caves and ancient paintings are revered. This World Heritage Site is Australia's most recognizable natural icon and stands 1,142 ft (348 m) high with a circumference of 5.8 miles (9.4 km). Astonishingly most of its bulk lies below the ground. Uluru’s most magical property is that it appears to change color as light strikes it at various times of the day, with sunset a particularly remarkable sight when it glows red. Any extended trip to Australia must include a visit to this culturally and geographically significant landmark
