Waterfalls On Uluru: A Rare Sight

Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone rock formation in central Australia, and one of the most recognizable natural landmarks of the country. The sandstone formation looks the most wonderful during sunrise and sunset when the fiery red sun is reflected off its surface. But the real spectacle occurs in summer when the region experiences heavy rains.

Rains occur between November and March. At such times, the famous monolith is covered with innumerable streams of water that changes the very color of Ayers Rock to a rare shade of violet.
