The myth and the mystery of the Uluru:
In the rock itself can be found the record of Dreamtime, its caves, cliffs and fissures. Up to the summit of the summit of the rock the main path taken by the aboriginals’ ancestors is the traditional route in the creation time at Uluru upon their arrival. Different ancestral spirits represents various outcrops, and the rock by touching, the spirits for blessings an Aborigine can invoke and with the Dreamtime communicate.

One Aboriginal myth according to, to a feast in the area were invited two tribes of ancestral spirits, but by the beautiful Sleepy Lizard Women became distracted and at a waterhole dallied. At being stood up became angry, into a mud sculpture the waiting hosts sang evil as the dingo that came to life, to carry off babies has been known a wild dog. Followed by a great battle there was a terrible slaughter, of the leaders of both tribes which ended in the deaths. In grief at the bloodshed the earth itself rose up and this is became the Uluru.

At the Uluru what to see:
An isolated sandstone rock a monolith not technically is the Uluru 346 meters high that stand and around more than 8 kilometer/5 miles. In shape roughly triangular, in length for over 2 miles and in width nearly 2 miles it stretches. Than most of the other rock formation it has a harder exterior, all the way to ground level for the unusually steep rock faces which allows.

Without the least bit of Vegetation the Uluru is a completely bare rock, to the stark and beauty of mysterious which only adds. However by the great contrast, from Uluru by rain runoff the base of the rock nourished and of water pools is a fertile oasis, a variety of the vast wildlife and the rich greenery. For the Aborigines it is thus an ideal ceremonial, in the caves who camp and by the food and the available food sustained.

The most impressive feature of the Uluru aside from its imposing size, by the Aborigines beloved and alike the visitors, throughout the day and the year of changing color of it’s the beautiful range. Particularly are remarkable sunrise and the sunset, a deep rusty red with the rock glowing. From the oxidation its rust color the rock derives, and is due to the arkosic sandstone of the rock at sunrise and sunset the glowing effects, reflective minerals which contains and according to the attitude of the sun changes its color.

Around the perimeter of the Uluru the base walk is 9.4 kilometers long. A variety of interesting cracks, caves, natural formations and canyons contains the Ayers Rock, at the creation time of the ancestral beings to the activities all of which attribute the Anangu. At the base of the rock the shallow caves the ancient painting and carvings contains. But are just not the artifacts of the some ancient culture unlike the Lascaux Caves and other art sites of the caves by the Anangu they are being created still today.
