Uluru is a large rock formation in central Australia, in the Northern Territory. It is located in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, 400 km southwest of Alice Springs. It is the second largest monolith in the world. It was described by explorer Ernest Giles in 1872 as "the remarkable pebble".Made of sandstone, Uluru is often referred to as the heart of the ‘Red Centre’ and is one of Australia’s most recognisable landmarks. It's famous for it changing of colours. The best times to these is either at sunrise or sunset. At sunrise, the sun fills the rock with a bright red, as if it is on fire. At sunrise it transforms back to its original rusty orange hue.
