Who discovered Ayers Rock in 1873?

Explorer William Gosse, of the South Australian Survey Department, "discovered" Ayers Rock in 1873. The indigenous people had known about it for thousands of years. Gosse discovered the rock (now known by its native name of Uluru) by accident during an expedition through Australia's interior. The need to find water for his camels forced him to take a more southerly course than he had originally planned. On 18 July 1873 he sighted Ayers Rock, recording that, "This rock is certainly the most wonderful natural feature I have ever seen". Known to the indigenous Australians as Uluru, the rock was named Ayers Rock after Sir Henry Ayers, Premier of South Australia at the time.
