Ernest Giles did not discover Uluru. Giles discovered the Olgas, now known as Kata Tjuta, but Uluru was discovered by William Gosse of the South Australia Survey Department. Gosse initially named it Ayers Rock, after the Premier of South Australia at the time.

When was Ares rock discovered?

Ares Rock or Uluru, was known to the Australian aboriginal people from ancient times and therefore nobody knows when it was first discovered by man, (there is evidence that humans settled in the area more than 10,000 years ago).Uluru was first mapped by Europeans in 1872 during the expeditionary period made possible by the construction of the Australian Overland Telegraph Line. In separate expeditions, Ernest Giles and William Gosse were the first European explorers to this area.
