Australia's iconic natural landscape, Uluru or Ayers Rock is an imposing red-tinted monolith rising in the Red Centre region of the Northern Territory. The nearest major city, Alice Springs, is about 400 km from this great rock. Listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Uluru is a sacred mountain for the country's aborigines. Born 550 million years ago, this arid iceberg measures nine kilometers in circumference, three kilometers long and 350 meters high. Dominating a plateau within the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, its landscape is shaped by 36 domes of red rock called "Olgas". With the passing of time, this "island-mountain" has not changed and offers to its tourists a relief identical to 500 million years ago. The magic of this sacred massif lies in its colors in perpetual changes according to the hour of the day but also the power of the sun rays. It can turn from ochre-orange to red-brown through the dark pink. The sunset remains one of the most appreciated spectacles by the tourists!
