Uluru is the native name for Ayers Rock in Australia. Dreamtime is the name for a form of shamanic practice common in aboriginal Australian and American tribes. It usually involves ingesting various halucenogenic plant extracts or cocktails and is the process by which tribal elders would commune with the ancestral spirits and guardians of nature to procure their favour, wisdom and counsel. Other accounts of Dreamtime suggest something much more ancient and arcane; a time in which nothing but pure energy existed, waiting to be born into a physical form; the time before creation. As for WHERE Uluru was in the dreamtime, I have read that he lay dormant "...in the space between spaces...". I cannot find a text that says where exactly that was, but since nothing existed I would say its location is irrelevant!

Gosse discovered the rock by accident - the need to find water for his camels forced him to take a more southerly course than he had originally planned.
