Photo Gallery: Uluru (Ayers Rock)

This gallery of 84 photos accompanies our article on Uluru (Ayers Rock), a massive sandstone rock in central Australia sacred to the Aborigines of the area as well as New Age practitioners. Believed to have been formed by the activities of ancestral beings in Dreamtime, the beautiful site includes many caves, waterholes, and ancient rock paintings. The rock turns spectacular shades of red at sunrise and sunset - a mystical spectacle documented by photos in this gallery. Near Uluru is another sacred rock formation called the Olgas, photos of which are included in this gallery. Click any image to enlarge or start at the beginning for a virtual tour.
