Uluru
Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a massive sandstone monolith in the Northern Territory's arid desert, not Adelaide as many believe. Formed over 500 million years ago, its surface changes colors dramatically during sunrise and sunset. Visitors can witness ancient rock paintings while walking the 9.4 km base trail, gaining insight into the Anangu people’s culture.
