No-one lives at Uluru itself.
At the nearby Yulara resort, the 2006 census indicated a population of 1606.
The main reason why people should not climb Uluru is that it is now recognised that it is disrespectful to the indigenous people of Australia. While it is a spectacular thing to stand atop Uluru and gaze out over the featureless plains, the Anangu people of Central Australia request, respectfully, that you do not climb Uluru. The landform is of spiritual significance to them. Even among their own people, only the aboriginal elders are permitted to climb the rock, and even then, only for certain ceremonies. On a more practical note, many tourists are not fit enough to make the entire climb. The surface can be slippery in places, and the first part of the climb is very steep, and will test even fit young people.
The most logical way to get to Uluru from Sydney by road is the following: * head west along the South Western Motorway which then becomes the South Western Freeway * continue along as the Hume Highway * bear left towards Tarcutta on the Sturt Highway, continuing right through to Mildura in far western Victoria * continue along towards Barmera and Morgan, then turn northwest towards Port Augusta * continue north up the Stuart Highway until you reach the junction of the Lasseter Highway * Turn left down the Lasseter to get to Uluru / Ayers Rock This covers a distance of 2820 kilometres, and such a trip should be spread over many days. Many people merely take a flight from Sydney to Alice Springs, then a flight or bus to Uluru.
The area covered by Uluru/Ayers Rock is 3.3 square kilometres.
Uluru lies within a National park: no one lives within the National park. Whilst there used to be four small motels about a kilometre from the base of the Rock, concerns about the lack of control over tourism and the degradation to Uluru forced their closure. Now, the closest people can live to Uluru is the tourist settlement of Yulara, about 15 km from Uluru, which has a permanent population that fluctuates between 800 and 900.
Yes, there are caves on Uluru, known as shelters or alcoves. These caves are important culturally and are used by Aboriginal people for ceremonies and shelter. Some caves also contain ancient rock art.
