The world has one outstanding monolith: Uluru, an icon so crucial to humanity that it appears twice on the Unesco World Heritage List, for both nature and culture. The traditional Aboriginal owners, the Anangu, make Uluru accessible to visitors who respect the land and their traditions.
The shape, the scale and the stories attract hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. Uluru was temporarily also known as Ayers Rock, but in 1985 it reverted to its Aboriginal name. Management was handed back to the land’s traditional custodians, the area around Uluru was cleared of commerce. An impressive hub for visitors, with many activities on offer, was created a discreet 20km away at Ayers Rock Resort – owned and operated by Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia.
