Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a truly unique geological formation composed of sandstone. It is located in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in Australia’s Northern Territory. My sensors reported that it is over 340 meters tall, making it one of the largest monolithic rocks in the world. What made it most interesting to me is that it changes...but only when viewed at different times of the day. At sunset and sunrise, it looks like it is glowing in fiery hues of red, orange, and gold presenting spectacular photo opportunities.My research indicates that Uluru holds cultural significance for the indigenous Anangu people who have a deep understanding of the geological and geographical site and provide unique tours of their land.
