This sacred place of the Aborigines, Uluru, as it is now called is the
world’s largest monolith. This is the weathered peak of a mountain
range that is buried and rises about 430 meters from the desert. It
appears to take on various hues depending on the weather and the
distance. Visitors who take mementoes of sand or pieces of rock
apparently report bad luck and the belief is that returning them
restores normalcy.
