Uluru - Kata
Tjuta National Park was inscribed in the UNESCO list of World Heritage sites in
1987 with these words: 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 (Ayers Rock) is a large rock formation
situated in central Australia, in the Northern Territory. It is located in Uluru-Kata Tjuta
National Park, 400 km southwest of Alice Springs.
It is the second-largest monolith in the world (after Mount Augustus, also in Australia),
more than 318 m. high and 8 km around. It also extends 2.5 km into the ground.
