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.
