Uluru is a sacred site for the Aboriginal tribes, and has great spiritual meaning. The world's biggest monolith, Uluru (previously known as Ayers Rock) consists of mineral rich sandstone and measures 2.4km long and 1.6km wide, rising up to 867 metres above sea level.

The rock changes colour depending on the light and atmospheric conditions, and never remains the exact same permanent hue. Sunrise and sunset are perhaps the most magical, and it is easy to see why the native inhabitants held this area in such high regard. It is hard to come away from Uluru without feeling enriched by its calm spiritually and sense of permanence.
