Uluru is a large sandstone rock formation that appears out in the middle of no where in central Australia, in the Northern Territory, and is considered a great natural wonder of the world. Located in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, 350 km southwest of Alice Springs at 25 degrees 20' 41" S 131 degrees 01' 57" E.

Uluru is the Aboriginal name for what is most commonly known as Ayers Rock, and is a sacred part of Aboriginal creation mythology,
or dreamtime - reality being a dream.
