Uluru (English pronunciation: /ˌuːləˈruː/), also known as Ayers Rock/ˌɛərzˈrɒk/ and officially gazetted as Uluru/Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone rock formation in the southern part of the Northern Territory in central Australia. It lies 335km (208mi) south west of the nearest large town, Alice Springs, 450km (280mi) by road.
The local Anangu, the Pitjantjatjara people, call the landmark Uluṟu (Aboriginal pronunciation:[uluɻu]). This word is a proper noun, with no further particular meaning in the Pitjantjatjara dialect, although it is used as a local family name by the senior Traditional Owners of Uluru.
Ayers Rock were an Australian jazz fusion, progressive rock band which formed in August 1973. Ray Burton (guitar and vocals), Mark Kennedy (drums) and Duncan McGuire (bass), members of Leo de Castro and Friends, left to form the eponymous trio of Burton, McGuire & Kennedy. They added a guitarist, Jimmy Doyle, changed their name to Ayers Rock and invited Col Loughnan (saxophones and flutes) to join. The group signed with independent label Mushroom Records in December 1973. Burton left the following March, and was replaced by Chris Brown (guitar, vocals). With live appearances, coverage in print media and word of mouth the group had a high national profile despite little radio airplay, and journalists praised their musicianship, music and live energy.
The band's first album, Big Red Rock (November 1974), received positive reviews and peaked at number32 on the Australian Kent Music Report album chart. It featured mainstream rock and three longer, instrumental tracks which introduced progressive styles, including jazz fusion. Label owner Michael Gudinski promoted Ayers Rock in Los Angeles and they signed with A&M Records, the first Mushroom Records artists to sign with an international label. The United States release of Big Red Rock in February 1975 was followed by a tour there, later that year. The band played to large crowds, supporting major international artists (including Bachman–Turner Overdrive) before 35,000 people – the first Australian band to perform in large US stadiums. Ayers Rock were named 1975 Musicians of the Year on RAM's "New Year's Honors List". Kennedy left before their second album, Beyond (April 1976, recorded at the Record Plant in Los Angeles), was released. The album blended a number of music genres and had a positive critical reception, charting at number50. The band toured the US again; Loughnan remained there, and Ayers Rock temporarily broke up in August 1976.

Uluru: Australia’s Mythic Monolith
It’s one of the most iconic sights in Australia, perhaps in the world. In the Central Desert, a vast sandstone monolith rises from an endless flat plain, its red walls changing color with the shifting sunlight. Taller than the Eiffel Tower, older than the Himalayas, and covering more area than the entire nation of Monaco, it goes by the ancient name of Uluru. Today, it is one of the most sacred places in the entire world.

The Geologic Oddity in Australia; Uluru / Ayers Rock
One of the most recognizable formations in all of Australia is the towering monolith of Uluru (also known as Ayers Rock). This massive monolith began its formation more than 500 million years ago, and was associated with a series of 5,000 meter tall snow covered mountains. Through deformation, faulting, and folding, the beautiful Uluru and Kata Tjuta were constructed. This video gives a brief explanation of how each of these rock formations formed.
