Rising from the flat desert landscape of Central Australia, Ayers Rock – or Uluru as it’s known to the Aboriginal population – is undoubtedly the most recognisable natural landmark in the country.

This monolithic sandstone formation stands more than 1,000ft high and has a circumference of more than six miles. Large numbers of foreign visitors make their way to this remote location every year to climb and explore this natural attraction and experience the magnificence of the desert sunrises and sunsets.
