Towering 348 metres above the red desert earth in the heart of Australia's Outback, Uluru (Ayers Rock) is possibly Australia's most recognised and most visited icon.

The monolith is best experienced on foot, which allows you to get up close and personal to its weathered surface and learn the significance of its sacred Aboriginal sites. A complete lap is 9 kilometres.

The rock changes its hues gradually with both the arrival and departure of the sun, transforming from its rich, red ochre evening dress to its terracotta daywear, making sunrise and sunset the most popular viewing times.

Join a group tour or take the scenic Red Centre Way tourist drive from Alice Springs, but be sure to stop at the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre.

  • @IagoIake1 Mate - if you think America has the worlds best beer, you need a serious trip down under. And I think the Chinese might want to discuss gunpowder with you too. But come on down - our beer is best by a country mile.

  • If you are going to visit Australia, you have to see Uluru. But please, respect the traditional Aboriginal owners of the land and DON'T CLIMB IT!

  • @TheAuzzieKid It's taller then the q1 building

  • @IagoIake1 actually most of americas inventions were imported by german immigrants. germans invented the hamburger, the hot dog, jet engines were invented by nazi scientists, television probably too. oh and most of your most popular beers were started by german immigrants too. :pp

  • oh my god a giant rock! I can't believe what I'm seeing, it's a rock and it's giant!

  • Probably the most beautiful natural site I've ever witnessed. I went there in 2005 and the view from the top was amazing

  • it would have been better with didgeridoo music. It was a good video, but I think it would have been better with the didge

  • @IagoIake1 Gunpowder, the compass and toilet paper were used in ancient China around the Tang dynasty. Dr Frank Whittle (English) and Hans von Ohain (German) are credited with the invention of the jet engine. Farnsworth drew upon pre-existing designs for TV that were made by contributions of many nations.Beer, hamburgers and hotdogs I'll leave to individual interpretaion. Bragging about nukes? So far there hasn't been one good effect on the world from weapons of mass destruction.

  • Beautiful

  • Got home today, it is HUGE!!!
