Ayers Rock - Uluru

 

Ayers Rock / Uluru is a mountain-like red cliff located on a plain in Australia.

Uluru is the name of the Aborigines and Ayers Rock is the western name.

It is a 500 million year old sandstone monolith, i.e. it is a single large rock consisting of sandstone. It has a reddish color due to oxidized iron.

 

It is the largest stone in the world.

 

Uluru is located almost in the middle of the country, about 450 km southwest of Alice Spring.

The bottom of Ayers Rock goes about 2000 meters underground and what we see is just the top of the mountain range that existed a very long time ago. Then the mountains stood on edge while they have now tipped to the side.

It is 384 m above sea level. 

It takes about 2 hours to walk around it.

Australia's indigenous aborigines see Uluru as a sacred place and this can be seen in the many rock carvings and paintings that are found on the mountain - even today ceremonies are held at the mountain.

The Aborigines have for many years begged the tourists not to climb Uluru because it's sacred to them, but also for the safety of the visitors.

Around half a million people used to climb the mountain every year. In recent years, there have been many more serious accidents. At least 35 people have died over the years due to climbing accidents.

Since October 26, 2019, it is forbidden to climb Uluru. 

Ayers Rock is best seen at dawn or dusk because it changes color then.

William Gosse visited the cliff 1873 and named it its Western name, Ayers Rock, after Sir Henry Ayers, South Australia's Prime Minister.

Uluru is today a national park called Uluru – Kata Tjuta National Park.
