Amazing Sights in Uluru
Uluru is an incredible sandstone rock formation also known as Ayers Rock. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is often referred to as the Red Centre due to its location near the centre of Australia. Many tourists visit this massive red rock to catch a glimpse of the amazing sunset from one of the viewing decks.
Another incredible attraction in Uluru is the Field of Light. World-renowned artist Bruce Munro conceptualized this light installation after a visit to Uluru in the 90s. The installation slowly comes to life as the sun begins to set, with the lights seemingly blooming as it gets darker. Make sure to visit the Field of Light while it is home in Uluru.
