Uluru lies in Australia's "Red Centre" like an enormous, moody heart - there's even a special part on the side of the rock known as "the brain', which amazingly resembles the human brain in its rock formation! The soil in this amazing place is just like in the postcards - the definite rich, red soil of the true Outback! A walk around the base will reveal the scurrying sounds of little animals departing, or the smooth "wave-like" markings in the sand of a snake seeking refuge.
