          Uluru can just be the most photographed rock in the world. This beautiful, enormous rock is located in Uluru National Park, 450 kilometres from Alice Springs in Australia.

          The rock was first seen by Europeans in 1872 and was discovered by Ernest Giles. It had been called Ayers Rock until 1985 when it was given back to the Anangu Aborigines. They are deeply religious people and the giant rock is very special to them. That’s why it’s now called Uluru, which means “The Centre of the Earth”.

          Uluru is surrounded by very flat land, so the giant rock can be seen from far away. People are always amazed by its beautiful orange colour and they enjoy exploring its small caves that contain fascinating carvings and drawings. Visitors who climb to the top of Uluru also get a fantastic view of the countryside.

          Uluru is certainly one of nature’s most dramatic and beautiful sights. It should not be missed by any visitors to the Australian Outback.
