The large rock formation at the center of Australia is known as Uluru, or Ayers Rock. This iconic monolith is a sandstone formation that rises 348 meters (1,142 feet) above the surrounding plain and is sacred to the indigenous Anangu people. Uluru is famous for its vibrant colors that change throughout the day, especially during sunrise and sunset. The site attracts numerous tourists for its natural beauty and cultural significance, and efforts are being made to promote its conservation and respect for indigenous customs.
