Uluru (English pronunciation: /ˌuːləˈruː/), also known as Ayers Rock /ˌɛərz ˈrɒk/ and officially gazetted as Uluru / Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone rock formation in the southern part of the Northern Territory in central Australia. It lies 335 km (208 mi) south west of the nearest large town, Alice Springs, 450 km (280 mi) by road.
Kata Tjuta and Uluru are the two major features of the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park. Uluru is sacred to the Anangu, the Aboriginal people of the area. The area around the formation is home to an abundance of springs, waterholes, rock caves, and ancient paintings. Uluru is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The local Anangu, the Pitjantjatjara people, call the landmark Uluṟu (Aboriginal pronunciation: [uluɻu]). This word is a proper noun, with no further particular meaning in the Pitjantjatjara dialect, although it is used as a local family name by the senior Traditional Owners of Uluru.
On 19 July 1873, the surveyor William Gosse sighted the landmark and named it Ayers Rock in honour of the then Chief Secretary of South Australia, Sir Henry Ayers. Since then, both names have been used.

Australia (/ɒˈstreɪliə/, /ə-/, colloquially /-jə/), officially known as the Commonwealth of Australia, is an Oceanian country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands. It is the world's sixth-largest country by total area. Neighbouring countries include Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and East Timor to the north; the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu to the north-east; and New Zealand to the south-east.
For about 50,000 years before the first British settlement in the late 18th century, Australia was inhabited by indigenous Australians, who spoke languages grouped into roughly 250 language groups. After the European discovery of the continent by Dutch explorers in 1606, Australia's eastern half was claimed by Great Britain in 1770 and initially settled through penal transportation to the colony of New South Wales from 26 January 1788. The population grew steadily in subsequent decades; the continent was explored and an additional five self-governing crown colonies were established. On 1 January 1901, the six colonies federated, forming the Commonwealth of Australia. Since federation, Australia has maintained a stable liberal democratic political system that functions as a federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy comprising six states and several territories. The population of 24 million is highly urbanised and heavily concentrated in the eastern states and on the coast.

The Northern Territory (abbreviated as NT) is a federal Australian territory in the centre and central northern regions. It shares borders with Western Australia to the west (129th meridian east), South Australia to the south (26th parallel south), and Queensland to the east (138th meridian east). To the north, the territory is bordered by the Timor Sea, the Arafura Sea and the Gulf of Carpentaria. Despite its large area—over 1,349,129 square kilometres (520,902 sq mi), making it the third largest Australian federal division—it is sparsely populated. The Northern Territory's population of 243,700 (2014) makes it is the least populous of Australia's eight major states and territories, having fewer than half as many people as Tasmania.
The archaeological history of the Northern Territory begins over 40,000 years ago when Indigenous Australians settled the region. Makassan traders began trading with the indigenous people of the Northern Territory for trepang from at least the 18th century onwards, and very likely for 300 years prior to that. The coast of the territory was first seen by Europeans in the 17th century. The British were the first Europeans to attempt to settle the coastal regions. After three failed attempts to establish a settlement (1824–1828, 1838–1849, and 1864–66), success was achieved in 1869 with the establishment of a settlement at Port Darwin. Today the economy is based on tourism, especially Kakadu National Park in the Top End and the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park (Ayers Rock) in central Australia, and mining.

Video of me climbing Ayers Rock (Uluru) in Australia. It was really exciting to visit this part of the outback, see the landscapes, and ascend the oddly placed rock. Also scenes from Kata Tjuta, landscapes that are home to budgerigars, time lapse of Ayers Rock sunrise, eating Kangaroo meat, and driving on the wrong side!
There have been renewed calls to ban climbing Uluru in the Northern Territory. Traditional owners already ask visitors not to climb the iconic rock, but they want that to be an enforced rule. The call for the ban comes after a survey that was conducted by Parks Australia that found the number of people climbing Uluru is down to 18 percent from 38 percent in 2009. As only 20 percent of the hundreds of thousands of visitors to Uluru each year climb the rock, the call for a ban has been joined by the Central Land Council. Parks Australia has asked for a further investigation into the implications of banning the climb, and has already introduced monitoring devices to estimate exactly how many people are climbing the rock. The traditional owners of Uluru national park have said climbing th...
Tradition or tourism. The Australian government is considering banning people from climbing Ayers Rock in deference to the Aborigines who consider it sacred. Around 350,000 people visit the site - known as Uluru by the native population - every year. Of those, around 100,000 climb the 1,142ft landmark. It is world heritage-listed and is famed for its shifting red-ochre colors. If the park authorities responsible for the icon have their way, climbing could be banned within 18 months. Chris Burns, tourism minister for the Northern Territory that is home to the rock, is opposed to a ban. Local officials claim fully closing Uluru would worsen Australia's steadily declining tourist numbers. Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd spoke out against plans to stop people climbing Ayers Rock as deb...
Australia to ban climbing on Uluru from 2019 Uluru is a sacred site for Aboriginal Australians Climbing on Australia's iconic Uluru landmark will be banned local authorities have confirmed. The board of the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park voted unanimously to end the climb because of indigenous sensitivities. The giant red monolith in the Northern Territory is a sacred site for Aboriginal Australians. Local people have long asked visitors not to climb the outcrop, which was known for many years as Ayers Rock. Signs at the start of the climb ask people to abstain from going up in respect to the traditional law of the Anangu Aboriginal people, the custodians of the land.

It has been 30 years since Australia's most famous natural landmark, Uluru, was handed back to its traditional Aboriginal owners. Now, five million hectares around the sacred rock will be declared protected. But there are also plans to stop tourists from climbing on top of the traditional site. Andrew Thomas reports.
Climbing on Australias iconic Uluru landmark will be banned from October 2019, local authorities have confirmed.
Read more here: http://bit.ly/1vbMAhu The Aborigines ask that we don't climb Uluru, the iconic Rock that sits in the Red Centre of Australia. Why? Because it is a sacred place for the Aborigines. So, what do we do instead? There are so many things, from riding camels to hiking and biking and immersing in Aboriginal culture. And, we watch the Rock from the ground, and feel good about ourselves for honoring traditions and showing respect.

Uluru, or Ayres Rock, is the very heart and soul of Australia. The Anangu, who own the land where the rock sits, recognize the importance of tourism, but want to maintain their culture and traditions. After repeated requests for tourists not to photograph or climb the rock the national park management is considering banning climbing altogether.

http://www.australian-information-stories.com/uluru-kata-tjuta-national-park.html Uluru (Ayers Rock) National Park in Australia is sometimes called the heart of Australia and rock of ages. It's also known as the 'Red Centre' and is probably one of our greatest land marks and as such is a major tourist attraction. In fact a visit to Australia's outback wouldn't be complete without spending some time at the rock, so here are the ten things to do to get the most from your visit.
These are my best tips for backpacking in Australia. Whether to you Australia is a surfing paradise, golden beautiful beaches, or fancy an Australia hiking holiday, everything’s covered here. I talk about budgeting for Australia hostels and accommodation, travelling around Australia, the popular hot spots like Brisbane, Cairns, Sydney and Perth, or more unusual locations like Fraser Island, Byron Bay, Noosa, the Whitsunday Islands and Magnetic Island.
