Uluru is the traditional, indigenous name. It was given the name of Ayers Rock by explorer William Christie Gosse, after the-then Premier or South Australia, Sir Henry Ayers. Its original name is Uluru, and because Uluru has been returned to its traditional owners for management, the name of Uluru has been restored as its official name.
