Uluru

Behold the intense colours of Uluru (Ayers Rock) (www.environment.gov.au/parks/uluru). Uluru is the world's largest monolith and plays an important part in Aboriginal mythology. Note that climbing the rock is considered a gross sacrilege by the indigenous people. The nearby Kata Tjuta, meaning 'many heads' and formerly known as The Olgas, is a series of 36 massive rock domes and a system of gorges and valleys. Visitors can walk through the Valley of the Winds and the Olga Gorge, and also visit the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre, which has exhibitions on local history and geology.
