Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock and officially gazetted as Uluru/Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone rock formation in the southern part of the Northern Territory in central Australia. It lies 335 km (208 mi) south west of the nearest large town, Alice Springs, 450 km (280 mi) by road. Kata Tjuta and Uluru are the two major features of the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park. Uluru is sacred to the Anangu, the Aboriginal people of the area. The area around the formation is home to a plethora of springs, waterholes, rock caves, and ancient paintings. Uluru is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The local Pitjantjatjara people call the landmark Uluṟu. This word has no further particular meaning in the Pitjantjatjara language, although it is used as a local family name by the senior Traditional Owners of Uluru. On 19 July 1873, the surveyor William Gosse sighted the landmark and named it Ayers Rock in honour of the then Chief Secretary of South Australia, Sir Henry Ayers. Since then, both names have been used. 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, it was renamed Ayers Rock / Uluru and became the first official 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. Uluru is one of Australia's most recognisable natural landmarks. The sandstone formation stands 348 m (1,142 ft) high, rising 863 m (2,831 ft) above sea level, with most of its bulk lying underground, and has a total circumference of 9.4 km (5.8 mi). Both Uluru and the nearby Kata Tjuta formation have great cultural significance for the Aṉangu people, the traditional inhabitants of the area, who lead walking tours to inform visitors about the local flora and fauna, bush foods and the Aboriginal dreamtime stories of the area. Uluru is notable for appearing to change colour at different times of the day and year, most notably glowing red at dawn and sunset. Kata Tjuta, also called Mount Olga or The Olgas, lies 25 km (16 mi) west of Uluru. Special viewing areas with road access and parking have been constructed to give tourists the best views of both sites at dawn and dusk. Uluru is an inselberg, literally island mountain. An inselberg is a prominent isolated residual knob or hill that rises abruptly from and is surrounded by extensive and relatively flat erosion lowlands in a hot, dry region. Uluru is also often referred to as a monolith, although this is a somewhat ambiguous term that is generally avoided by geologists. The remarkable feature of Uluru is its homogeneity and lack of jointing and parting at bedding surfaces, leading to the lack of development of scree slopes and soil. These characteristics led to its survival, while the surrounding rocks were eroded. For the purpose of mapping and describing the geological history of the area, geologists refer to the rock strata making up Uluru as the Mutitjulu Arkose, and it is one of many sedimentary formations filling the Amadeus Basin. Uluru is dominantly composed of coarse-grained arkose (a type of sandstone characterized by an abundance of feldspar) and some conglomerate. Average composition is 50% feldspar, 25-35% quartz and up to 25% rock fragments; most feldspar is K-feldspar with only minor plagioclase as subrounded grains and highly altered inclusions within K-feldspar. The grains are typically 2-4 millimetres (0.079-0.16 in) in diameter, and are angular to subangular; the finer sandstone is well sorted, with sorting decreasing with increasing grain size. The rock fragments include subrounded basalt, invariably replaced to various degrees by chlorite and epidote. The minerals present suggest derivation from a predominantly granite source, similar to the Musgrave Block exposed to the south. When relatively fresh, the rock has a grey colour, but weathering of iron-bearing minerals by the process of oxidation gives the outer surface layer of rock a red-brown rusty colour. Features related to deposition of the sediment include cross-bedding and ripples, analysis of which indicated deposition from broad shallow high energy fluvial channels and sheet flooding, typical of alluvial fans. The Mutitjulu Arkose is believed to be of about the same age as the conglomerate at Kata Tjuta, and to have a similar origin despite the rock type being different, but it is younger than the rocks exposed to the east at Mount Conner, and unrelated to them. The strata at Uluru are nearly vertical, dipping to the south west at 85°, and have an exposed thickness of at least 2,400 m (7,900 ft). The strata dip below the surrounding plain and no doubt extend well beyond Uluru in the subsurface, but the extent is not known.

This park, formerly called Uluru (Ayers Rock -- Mount Olga) National Park, features spectacular geological formations that dominate the vast red sandy plain of central Australia. Uluru, an immense monolith, and Kata Tjuta, the rock domes located west of Uluru, form part of the traditional belief system of one of the oldest human societies in the world. The traditional owners of Uluru-Kata Tjuta are the Anangu Aboriginal people.

ULURU KATA TJUTA - National Park - Australia
Australia - National Park - Media Briefing
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park was inscribed on the World Heritage List in two stages, initially for its outstanding universal natural values and then for its outstanding universal cultural values.
An important task in the management of the Park is maintaining and respecting local indigenous culture while accommodating the interests of non-Aboriginal people. While we understand that visitors and people in business want to use the Park, Parks Australia has obligations to protect local Aboriginal law and lifestyle and the integrity of the World Heritage natural and cultural values of the park.

Big ideas for Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park
Ever had a big idea for a tourism business at Uluru? Now is your chance to make that idea a reality.
At Uluru Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for the Environment Bob Baldwin and Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park’s Board of Management chairperson Sammy Wilson today announced a call for culturally appropriate and environmentally sensitive business and investment ideas in the park.
“The Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park’s Board of Management put out this call today to encourage investment in their business – one of our most beloved, world-renowned tourism destinations,” Mr Baldwin said.
“The Board is made up of a majority of traditional owners of this very special place.
I applaud them for their vision. By making this call they intend to increase the visitor experiences on offer, increasing visitor numbers and enhancing people’s understanding of their country and culture, while boosting job and training opportunities for their own community.
“Additional revenue will also be reinvested in the park to protect it for future Australians to enjoy and help us protect the World Heritage listed Uluru and Kata Tjuta.
“I’m very pleased this call is going out in NAIDOC Week – when we come together to celebrate and commemorate the contribution of all first Australians. With this year’s theme that we all stand on sacred ground, I’m pleased to be standing with the Board on this sacred ground to support their work.
“This is a great opportunity for the park, for the community, for visitors, for Australian tourism and for the Red Centre region, the heart of the Northern Territory.”
Board chairperson Sammy Wilson said the traditional owners wanted people with good ideas to come and talk together.
“This is a beautiful place to bring strong ideas where we can work together, look towards the future and create something to be proud of,” Mr Wilson said.
Minister for Trade and Investment, with responsibility for tourism, Andrew Robb, said Uluru and the Red Centre presented exciting investment opportunities for the tourism industry, given the area is one of Australia’s most iconic destinations.
“100 million Chinese went on an international holiday last year, and this is set to double to some 200 million by 2020. With targeted investment in the right kind of high-quality infrastructure, Australia is perfectly positioned to capture a growing share of this lucrative market,” Mr Robb said.
“The Board is looking for fresh, exciting and engaging experiences and commercial activities to complement the existing products on offer. They want experiences that are welcoming and engaging, that help achieve social and economic benefits for the park’s traditional owners.”
Mr Robb said the initiative will complement the work being undertaken by the government as part of the Northern Australia White Paper, with a major investment forum to be held in Darwin later this year, to attract investors and expose them to investor-ready projects in the north.
“The tourism opportunities for Australia are immense, but they won’t fall into our laps; I certainly encourage businesses and investors to put forward exciting high-quality ideas to the Board, to help secure the future potential of this truly magnificent national icon,” Mr Robb said.

Uluru (formerly Ayers Rock) Australia, Kata Tjuta National Park
During our visit to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park we talk to one of the Anangus living there. He tells us that his tribe have decided FOR tourism on their land. Nevertheless, they are surprised that so many people come to their land to look at a red rock in the desert - and then trample on their holy places while climbing Uluru. That is not the only thing the rock climbers do: they relieve themselves on the mountain, the shoe rubbish paired with all other garbage washes the next rain down the mountain and that burdens the unique nature in the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The climb hasn't been expressly forbidden up to now, it didn't cost any extra money either. Only at the foot of the path was a sign indicating that the Anangus ask visitors not to climb up and thus respect their wishes. The ranger of the national park explained to us that the Aboriginals perceive people as adults who are able to make their own decisions based on information. We think this is right, but it is difficult in Australia: Honestly, if there are signs in the whole country saying what you are not allowed to do, and rarely what you are allowed to do, how can you assume that common sense is needed here? That has been completely lost with so much regulation! Our decision had been clear for a long time: We will NOT climb Uluru. As guests in every country, we naturally respect the wishes of our hosts.

Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park - Ayers Rock, Australia
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is home to Uluru, also referred to as Ayers Rock, a red sandstone monolith located in the heart of Australia's Red Center. The site features great hiking, colorful views and Aboriginal pictographs.
Although many visitors come to Uluru intent on hiking to the top, Uluru is sacred to the Anangu, who request that visitors respect their culture by not climbing the rock. I highly recommend taking the Base Walk around Uluru instead. This gives you the best views of Uluru in a variety of lights and angles and allows you to get close up looks at its impressive pictograph sites.

Der Uluṟu [uluɻu], auch Ayers Rock, ist ein großer Inselberg aus Sandstein in der zentralaustralischen Wüste im Northern Territory.
Der Uluṟu ist etwa 3,0 km lang, bis zu 2,0 km breit und hat einen Umfang von rund 10 km. Der Gipfel befindet sich auf einer absoluten Höhe von 869 m und hebt sich damit rund 350 m von der Dünenlandschaft Zentralaustraliens ab.
Der Uluṟu liegt im Uluṟu-Kata-Tjuṯa-Nationalpark nahe dem Ort Yulara, ca. 340 km (Luftlinie) bzw. 450 km (PKW) südwestlich von Alice Springs im Northern Territory von Australien. Der 1336 km² große Nationalpark, in dem neben dem Uluṟu auch die benachbarten Kata Tjuṯa (die Olgas) liegen, gehört zum UNESCO-Weltnatur- und Weltkulturerbe. (Quelle: Wikipedia)
