Uluru is getting smaller. Over the years smaller unstable rocks have fallen of the larger rock making it smaller. Many people say that the rock is changing color but it is just the time of day that you look at the rock and the angel you look at it from.

How does Uluru erode?

For thousands of years, Uluru has been subject to erosion from the wind and the rain. Uluru lies in a vast, flat plain, and high winds can whip across the desert, throwing up sand particles which erode Uluru. Rainfalls, although rare, can be heavy, and the water will continue to pour down the surface in waterfalls for some time after the rain has stopped. Though it may seem smooth, close up there are caves, ridges, channels and rock pools holes on the surface of Uluru. The action of people climbing up the same route year after year also adds to the erosion issue. Having said that, however, the erosion is barely discernible over time.
