Yes. The sides of Uluru are literally ridden with caves, both large and small, some little more than fissures. None of the caves extend any depth into the Rock, so Uluru is not a place for spelunkers. However, many of the caves are decorated with ancient indigenous art, and various caves were allocated for specific purposes by the indigenous people when they still lived a traditional lifestyle.

How does Uluru erode?
For thousands of years, Uluru has been subject to erosion from the wind and the rain. Uluru lies in a vast, flat plain, and high winds can whip across the desert, throwing up sand particles which erode Uluru. Rainfalls, although rare, can be heavy, and the water will continue to pour down the surface in waterfalls for some time after the rain has stopped. Though it may seem smooth, close up there are caves, ridges, channels and rock pools holes on the surface of Uluru. The action of people climbing up the same route year after year also adds to the erosion issue. Having said that, however, the erosion is barely discernible over time.
