Uluru (previously known as Ayers Rock) is a red sandstone rock that stands 1,142 feet high and measures nearly six miles in circumference. It sands in the center of Australia.
The enormous red rock is sacred to the Aboriginal people of the area. For them it holds great spiritual significance, and they request that visitors not climb it or take photographs of certain sacred areas.
