Another one-of-a-kind adventure and experience lies in the southern part of Central Australia specifically located in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. The Uluru or Ayers Rock is a large sandstone rock formation. It has more than 318 m and 8 km around and extends 2.5 km under the ground. Uluru is the Aboriginal name of this rock formation while Ayers Rock is the English name. This “remarkable pebble”, as explorer Ernest Giles refers this rock formation is a known to be a sacred place for the Aboriginal people of the area.

The Ayers Rock is a natural wonder of the world full of history. It is renowned for its change of color depending on the season and gives a splendid scene when it glows red in color. Sometimes, when it is rainy or wet season, the rock shows a silver-gray hue. One time, in June 1, 2004 the Ayers Rock changed from red to violet due to the waterfalls on the rocks causing it to alter its color.

Australia boasts of this natural heritage bringing one of the best sunrise and sunsets around Ayers Rock. Usually, it provides a breathtaking view of the horizon against the rays of the sun amidst the clouds on a sunny day or the stars on a cold starry night. For travelers, one can have access to the park for AU$25 good for 3 day passes. Visitors are allowed to climb Uluru. However, with regards to taking photos, there are some parts of Uluru which are not allowed to be photographed due to the Aborigines beliefs. Uluru is very well preserved along with its culture and beliefs.
