The big rock...

Welcome to Ayers Rock.

Ayers Rock is also known by its Aboriginal name 'Uluru'. It is a sacred part of Aboriginal creation mythology. Uluru is considered one of the great wonders of the world and one of Australia's most recognizable natural icons.

Uluru (also Ayers Rock or The Rock) is a large sandstone rock formation in central Australia, in the Northern Territory. It is located in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. It is more than 318 m high and 8 km around. It also extends 2.5 km into the ground. In 1920, part of Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park was declared an Aboriginal Reserve .

What can you do at Uluru?...

You can walk around the base (9.4 km.), you can climb up to the top, that's pretty scary, or you can take a wonderful night tour called "the sound of silence dinner" where you can have dinner under a million stars and listen to the sound of the wild animals...it's a magical experience!

Would you like to see some more photos of Ayers rock?...



Would do you think? Would you like to walk up to the top?..

Tomorrow we're going to discover more about the native people of Australia. Do you know who they are?....
