Uluru/Ayers Rock is unique for several reasons:
- It changes colour depending on the time of day, and whether or not it is raining.
- After the rain, tiny water invertebrates start breeding in the numerous water puddles formed on the top of the Rock. These invertebrates may lie dormant for many months in between rains.
- Uluru is the second largest monolith in Australia and in the world.
- About seven-eighths of the rock lies underground.

∙ 10y agoUluru is located on a flat plain in Central Australia. There are no mountains nearby, except for the Kata Tjuta formations some distance away. Uluru stands alone, towering about the surrounding countryside. In addition, the nature of the sandstone of which it is composed means that light refracts in different ways at different times of day, causing the rock to appear to change colour.
