Yawn, I had a good sleep. We were in Australia. My heart was racing. I was going to Uluru or Ayers rock today. It was a 6-hour to get there. I was looking out of the car and the soil was red. When I was walking outside there was so many flies. We rented a motor home. It was so shocking that there are still green trees. I noticed that Uluru changes colours. Only a small bit of Uluru is above the ground. Most of it is underground.
How big is Uluru?
Uluru…
• - is 348 metres (1141 feet) high
• rises 863 metres (2,831 ft) above sea level
• is 3.6 km long (2.2 miles)
• is 1.9 km wide (1.2 miles)
• is 9.4 km or 5.8 miles around the base
• covers 3.33 km2 (1.29 miles2)
• extends about several km/miles into the ground (no-one knows exactly how far)
FACT: Uluru is better known as Ayers Rock; it named by William Gosse in 1873 after Sir Henry Ayers. Uluru is the Aboriginal and the official name.
FACT: The rock was created over some 600 million years, and the Aborigines have been in the area for the last 10,000 years. It originally sat at the bottom of a sea, but today stands 348m above ground. One of the most startling Uluru facts however, is that some 2.5kms of its bulk is underground.
