Why is Uluru significant?

Answer 1

Uluru is the world's second largest monolith, not the largest, as is commonly believed. (The largest is Mt Augustus, also in Australia.) Uluru is particularly significant to the indigenous people of Australia as it is at the heart of their beliefs about the Dreaming, or time of creation. It is a place of great religious significance, and one of the indigenous sacred sites.

Answer 2

Uluru is not the world's largest monolith, as is often thought, but it is significant for its impressive size and the way it rises above the surrounding countryside. It is the world's second largest monolith, second only to Mt Augustus, which is also in Australia, but which does not provide such a stark contrast to the flat plains.

Answer 3

It is the world's largest monolith and sacred to the Aborigines, located in the Northern Territory of Australia
