If you ever want to go to Australia, make sure to add seeing Uluru with your own eyes into your travel plans.
It’s an unique, overwhelming view: a seemingly out-of-place rock formation in the middle of a plain land. If you look at it in the middle of the day, it’s quite interesting, but if you wait until dusk – it’s simply amazing.
The rock appears to change it’s colour at sunset – it becomes red, and for a while it seems to glow. But if you’re lucky enough to see it when it rains (and rain’s not common in this part of Australia), you’ll see Uluru, known also as Ayers Rock, becoming silver.
So, is Uluru some otherworldly projection? No, it’s an inselberg – the only remnant of a mountaing range from very distant past. It’s made mostly of sandstone called arkose, and located in possum and bat territory. The word “Uluru” itself was conceived by local Pitjantjatjara people, but – disappointingly – has no meaning.
