The question undoubtedly refers to Uluru (for which the European name is Ayers Rock), the large inselberg in central Australia. However, there is considerable doubt as to whether or not this is true. Most sources quote the meaning of Uluru as Great Pebble; other sources translate the word as Meeting Place. the Pitjantjatjara people of Central Australia do not claim the word has any particular meaning at all.
