Ayers Rock

Standing in the heart of Australia, at a height of 348 meters, Ayers Rock attracts many people from all over the world to see it in all its glory. But what most people do not know is that the Ayers Rock that they see is only 1/3 of the rock’s actual size. The remainder is under ground.

Another place to see, while in Australia, is the Kata Tjuta. This natural wonder is a group of red-colored, stone monoliths that is located not far from Ayers Rock. As of the natural wonder’s origins, you should ask a local Aborigine and they will share a legend or two with you.
