in strong contrast to its flat desert surrounds. ULURU is 343 metres high,
3.6 kms long, 2.4 kms wide and 8 kms in circumference. In Aboriginal
mythology, Uluru means MEETING PLACE, sacred home to the many Dreamtime
legends which are depitched in paintings and carvings around the rock.
The coulour of the rock appears to change continously through the day and
especially by sunrise and sunset.
Thought to be 600 million years old, visitors see just a small fraction of
what must be under the surface. Some geologists believe that the roots
actually go down more than 6000 metres.
