Introduction
Uluru (Ayers Rock) is Australia's most iconic natural landmark. Rising ~348 m from the desert in Australia's Red Centre, this massive sandstone monolith changes color from orange-red to deep purple at sunrise/sunset — UNESCO dual World Heritage Site and sacred to the Anangu people. A massive sandstone monolith rising 348 m from flat desert; rich red surface from iron oxidation. Sunrise and sunset transform Uluru from orange-red to deep purple. Kata Tjuta (The Olgas, ~30 km away) is another stunning rock formation. Climbing Uluru has been prohibited since 2019 to respect Anangu culture. Visiting for sunrise/sunset color changes at Australia's most sacred monolith is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
