Pawl.Seimon visited on 19th May 2003 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 5 Access: 3 Uluru's is not the easiest place to visit at the best of times. As we were leaving it started to rain and the area became a hazard, would keep one eye on the weather.

Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) and Uluru are the two major features of the Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park. Uluru is sacred to the Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara, the Aboriginal people of the area. It has many springs, waterholes, rock caves and ancient paintings. Uluru is listed as a World Heritage Site.
This year, experience Field of Light Uluru event and be captivated by the 50,000 lights that glow as darkness falls.
More on Uluru at Wikipedia. Also see the entry on The Journal of Antiquities for Ayres Rock, Northern Territory, Australia, which includes a list of reference sources for more information.
Note: Moving mountains, the rush to return the stolen rocks of Uluru, see comment
