Yes. The sides of Uluru are literally ridden with caves, both large and small, some little more than fissures. None of the caves extend any depth into the Rock, so Uluru is not a place for spelunkers. However, many of the caves are decorated with ancient indigenous art, and various caves were allocated for specific purposes by the indigenous people when they still lived a traditional lifestyle.
