Uluru
%20(Charles%20P%20Mountford).jpg)
Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone monolith near the center of Australia. This 1940 photo by Charles Mountford shows a Pitjantjatjara man holding a Ngintaka lizard in front of Ayers Rock.

The trail to climb to the top of Uluru was closed in 2019 in deference to the local Aboriginal people, who consider the mountain sacred. This photo was taken when there was a surge in climbers shortly before the ban took effect.
However, there are other trails around the base of Uluru that are still open. Uluru is in a national park that also contains Kata Tjuta or The Olgas, a similar sandstone monolith 16 miles to the west.
A scenic view of Uluru (and of something else).
And another view.
Looking away from Uluru, the land is totally flat. Uluru sticks out like the proverbial sore thumb.
We end with this guy getting an upside down view of Uluru. Or, because Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere, is he seeing it right-side up? (Just kidding.)

I managed to suck an aboriginal fella at Uluṟu, it was one of the most spiritual sensations I’ve experienced.
The Ngintaka lizard is known as a Goanna in Australia. It is a monitor lizard like Komodo dragons but not as big
When non Aboriginal people climbed Ayers Rock there were always 2-3 fatal heart attacks annually in Caucasian tourists not used to the heat and exertion required.
Oh, my, that would be a tough climb.
