1. Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a massive sandstone rock formation located in the heart of Australia’s Northern Territory. It is considered one of Australia’s most iconic landmarks and is a significant site for the local Anangu Aboriginal people.

- Uluru is world-renowned for its vibrant and ever-changing colors, particularly during sunrise and sunset when the rock appears to glow with hues of red, orange, and purple.

- Rising to a height of around 348 meters (1,142 feet), Uluru is taller than the Eiffel Tower and approximately 2.5 times the height of the Sydney Opera House.

- The rock covers an area of 3.3 square kilometers (1.3 square miles) and is estimated to be around 600 million years old.

- Uluru has great cultural and spiritual significance to the Anangu people, who have inhabited the area for thousands of years. It is believed to hold stories and legends associated with their creation mythology and is considered a sacred site.

- The rock is home to a variety of unique flora and fauna, including over 21 species of mammals, 73 species of reptiles, and various bird species.

2. Uluru is open to visitors throughout the year, but it is important to note that climbing Uluru itself is discouraged out of respect for the cultural beliefs of the Anangu people. The working hours of the park may vary, but generally, it opens at sunrise and closes at sunset.
