Uluru & Kata Tjuta

— I had the privilege of visiting Uluru and the neighbouring rock formations at Kata Tjuta in 2010, and it is an experience that will stay with me for a long time.

Background

Uluru is a massive sandstone monolith in the heart of the Northern Territory's arid Red Centre. The nearest large town is Alice Springs, 450km away. Uluru is sacred to indigenous Australians and is thought to have started forming around 550 million years ago. It's within Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, which also includes the 36 red-rock domes of the Kata Tjuta formation.
