Uluru was not found by anyone named Ayer.

Explorer William Gosse, of the South Australian Survey Department, is believed to have been the first European explorer to see Ayers Rock. Gosse discovered the rock (now known by its native name of Uluru) by accident during an expedition through Australia's interior.

Known to the indigenous Australians as Uluru, the rock was named Ayers Rock after Sir Henry Ayers, Premier of South Australia at the time.
