Ayers Rock Australia 0872
Uluru is located 1 395 km s of Darwin and 465 km w of Alice Springs in the NT's Red Centre. This huge sandstone rock formation (348 m) together with Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) are the Northern Territory’s greatest tourist attractions. Aboriginal heritage dates back 10 000 years and the name Uluru is a local family name applying to both the rock and its waterhole on top. European exploration began in 1870s with William Gosse sighting and naming the rock in 1873 to honour Sir Henry Ayers (Chief Secretary of SA) and Ernest Giles being the first European to climb the rock in the same year. In 1958 Ayers Rock, together with the Olgas formed Ayers Rock NP (today Uluru-Kata Tjuta N P). Kings Canyon walks (located within the Watarrka NP) include Canyon Walk - 6km loop & Kings Creek Walk - 2.6 km return.
