The massive Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a sandstone rock
formation in central Australia. Officially located in the Northern
Territory, Uluru is an inselberg (literally “island mountain”) which is a
leftover section of a mountain range after erosion has removed the
original mountain range. The formation is home to ancient wall
paintings, springs, and caves. Uluru stands 348 meters (1,142 ft) tall.
It is popular with photographers during sunset when it appears to glow
red. Many visitors opt to enjoy a steep hour-long climb to the top of
Uluru. Uluru is located inside the Uluru – Kata Tjuta National Park and
visitors must pay a $25 fee to enter the area. There is a nearby airport
for those interested in a short and easy visit to Uluru. Visitors
wishing to stay longer can find accommodation in the nearby town of
Alice Springs.
