The region where Uluru lies the southern
part of the Northern Territory in central Australia is a desert. It is
also known for many years as Ayers Rock and one of the iconic symbols of
Australia, it has been renamed to respect the aboriginal people who
live there and who call it Uluru. Uluru is recognizable most natural
landmarks and a large sandstone rock formation in central Australia.
Uluru is a world famous landmark and a huge mound of sandstone that
stands almost 350 metres high and is more than two miles long and a mile
wide. The first European to see this natural wonder was the explorer
William Gosse in the late 19th century and he named it Ayers Rock after
the then Chief Secretary of New South Wales.
These
sandstone formations are huge ones and look most wonderful site during
sunrise and sunset when the fiery red sun is reflected off its surface. A
truly great sight that several tourists want to view, but the real
sight occurs in summer when the region experiences heavy rains, the
average annual rainfall is about 300 mm, but even that is very variable.
Though rain may fall at any time of the year in the vicinity of Uluru,
sporadic heavy rains occur between November and March. In this period
the famous monolith is covered with innumerable streams of water that
changes the very color of Ayers Rock to a unusual shade of violet. It is
projected that only 1% of tourists to get the chance to witness
waterfalls flowing from the rock. This rare waterfall gives a glimpse of
unforgettable moments to visitor and also it's alive with insects and
birds and it's just a beautiful time to be there. Uluru is always
changing color and rain and low cloud to block the sunlight and it
becomes chameleons between shades of deep red and Brown, through to hues
of purple and blue-grey.
