Uluru, or Ayers Rock, is a massive sandstone monolith in the heart of the Northern Territory’s arid 'Red Centre'. The nearest large town is Alice Springs, 450km away. Uluru is sacred to indigenous Australians and is thought to have started forming around 550 million years ago. It’s within Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, which also includes the 36 red-rock domes of the Kata Tjuta (colloquially “The Olgas”) formation. Legend is Uluru rose from the site of a battle between two tribes over a tantalising lizard woman in response to the earth's grief over the bloodshed. Towering over the Australian outback, Uluru remains a source of reverence and awe from the indigenous Aborigines and Australians alike. This small, staple-bound book features photography and some text on the rock formation. This 1999 Baker Souvenirs Paperback is in very good condition.
