Uluru Walking Tour
Uluru, Australia
Why Walk Uluru
Uluru (Ayers Rock) is a sandstone monolith standing 1,142 feet above the desert plain in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. The rock is 2.2 miles long and extends miles underground. It is a sacred site for the Anangu Aboriginal people, who have lived in the area for at least 30,000 years and ask visitors not to climb it. Nearby Kata Tjuta (the Olgas), a formation of 36 domed rock formations, is equally sacred and geologically fascinating.
