Ayers Rock
One of Australia’s most striking and iconic landmarks, Uluru or as it’s more commonly known Ayers Rock, is an 863 metre-high sandstone monolith situated in the heart of a spectacular red desert in the country’s Northern Territories.
An important geological site, the rock is thought to date back some 550 million years, and remains of profound significance to the local indeginous population, who consider it a sacred landmark, said to be the resting place of ancestral spirits.
