Uluru

Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a massive sandstone monolith located in Australia's Northern Territory. It stands about 348 meters (1,142 feet) high and extends over 2.4 kilometers (1.5 miles) across. Sacred to the Anangu people, the Indigenous custodians, Uluru holds deep spiritual and cultural significance. Its reddish hue results from weathering and iron oxide. The rock features natural caves, rock art, and seasonal waterholes. Uluru is a UNESCO World Heritage site, attracting visitors worldwide for its striking appearance, cultural importance, and the opportunity to learn about Aboriginal traditions and history.
