Uluru (Uluru), or Ayers Rock (Ayers Rock) is located in the central part of Australia. The height of the cliff is 348 meters. Width - 3 km and a length of 3, 6 km. Red sandstone makes up the rock Uluru, depending on the position of the sun painted a different color from dark purple to gold. Uluru is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Amazing view Uluru can impress everyone.
In the center of Australia from horizon to horizon stretches the desert, was once the bottom of an ancient sea. And suddenly in the middle of the desert plains, sharply out of nowhere, like an island rock occurs. The world's largest monolith rising above the flat plain. Here is one of many contrasts, which can be seen in this wonderful and sacred place. Sandstone boulder height of more than three hundred meters, an area of two square kilometers, it is destroyed by erosion top of the mountain. Under the ground, it may be, goes on to deprive six kilometers. Debris washed down from the cliff, accumulate at its base and it deeper and deeper into the ground. It would seem that the layers of sandstone should go horizontally, but three hundred million years ago, a powerful earthquake shock reared bottom of the ocean and has since done erosion furrows vertical layers. At first glance, it seems lifeless rock, but in fact this monolith in a sense, an oasis in the desert. Many plants around the feed water flowing from the rock desert during thunderstorms. Streaks on its surface, it traces left by water, they have long reminded of the past have long rain. At the foot of the cliff is a source, where long hunt Aborigines. Kangaroos and other animals come to drink and eat source fruits and seeds of plants.
In this mountain-island two names Uluru and Evers-rock. These two names reflect two very different view of the world. The researchers found this rock, called her in the colonial tradition in honor of the then Governor of South Australia Henry Eeversa sulfur. Rock never belonged to this man, but the name remained. This is a very good way of thinking reflects the Europeans who believe that it is possible to award part of the natural world to one person. Aborigines call it Uluru, they are tightly connected with Sway ground. Australians call arid region rocks - dead heart of Australia. But Aboriginal and Uluru and everything around him alive. Aboriginal culture, it is only a thread in a vast carpet of life, which are woven by people and animals and plants, and of course the mountain.
In the desert its diverse flora and fauna, shrubs, kangaroos, prickly lizard Moloch, and many other interesting species of wildlife. See Uluru at different times of the day, it means to enjoy the subtle play of light and shadow. Hour after hour passed, and under these southern skies revealed a whole range of colors. Like other important landmarks of Uluru Aboriginal and reminds all the people around about the time of dreams about the oral traditions that are the basis of cultural heritage. Tens of thousands of years surrounding the natives come to Mount Uluru, are committed to the rites which tells the legend of the birth of their world.
