Australia is well known for continental uniqueness, and there are few topographical wonders like Ayers Rock. Standing over 1100 feet tall, it dominates the landscape for miles around. Ayers Rock, the English name taken after the late 19th Century Australia Chief Secretary Sir Henry Ayers, sits near the center of the continent and is the centerpiece for indigenous life in the region.
The most striking feature of Ayers Rock is not so much its monolithic stature as much as the fact that it takes on a red glow during the sunset hours, which are peak tourist times. It is a centerpiece of the Northern Territory Uluru-Kata Kjuta National Park system. It is classified as an inselberg, or island mountain, and is composed primarily of arkose sandstone, which produces the red tint. In the few instances of rain, it takes on a silvery-gray cast. The cracks and fissures appear to be darkened mini-waterfalls.
Uluru/Ayers Rock is located over 200 miles from the nearest town of Alice Springs, but is still a very popular tourist destination.
