Uluru (Ayers Rock), Australia

West of the Stuart Highway in the heart of the Australian continent is Ayers Rock National Park located, a large sandstone rock formation. Aborigines call the landmark Uluru.
Kata-Tjuta is the Aboriginal name for the Olgas, which are located near Uluru.
In 1993, a dual naming policy was adopted that allowed official names that consist of both the traditional Aboriginal name and the English name. On 15 December 1993, Uluru was renamed Ayers Rock / Uluru and became the first officially dual named feature in the Northern Territory. The order of the dual names was officially reversed to Uluru / Ayers Rock on 6 November 2002 following a request from the Regional Tourism Association in Alice Springs.
Officially designated by UNESCO as World Heritage Site, this site is to be safeguarded for the future as a testimony to its enduring past.

Hey, whatever WE have, those smelly arseholes probably took it from US.

And if you wanna insult Aussies, then learn to use proper English first, you Indian, douche-mouthed, terrorist wanker.

This rock is actually in India's city Kolkata. You Australian bastards are fool and tell lie...
