∙ 8y agoUluru has a bright future. It is likely to remain an iconic attraction in Australia, as it is unlike any other feature in the world. Erosion is minimal, so it is not at any likely risk of being eroded away, like the Twelve Apostles off the southern coast of Victoria are being eroded.

∙ 12y agoI would think just for it to be left as a tourist attraction. It is also a important place to the Aborigines. So all the future plans for Uluru are more then likely just to make it a successful tourist attraction.

Why does Uluru have to be so big?
Uluru does not have to be any particular size. It is a natural landform, and this is how it is formed - large, bald and rising imposingly above the surrounding plain.
How long has Uluru been in Australia for?

On an overcast day, Uluru's colour is more subdued, turning to a sandy brown colour. On the occasions when it rains, the entire rock becomes silvery-grey in appearance.The different angles of morning sun and late afternoon sun reflect differently off the surface of Uluru and interact with the different soil colours surrounding it. It is largely a matter of the atmospheric conditions, and how the moisture levels in the air and any clouds reflect the surrounding desert colours back onto Uluru.
