I thought they renamed it Uluru.

i recently heard a theory that ayers rock was formed by some kind of meteor ? ive looked and i found no information that suggest this.
so maybe the dude that told me saw some kind of programme and i just wondered if anyone else knows anything about this ?

Uluṟu is an inselberg, literally "island mountain", an isolated remnant left after the slow erosion of an original mountain range.[2] Uluṟu is also often referred to as a monolith, although this is a somewhat ambiguous term because of its multiple meanings, and thus a word generally avoided by geologists. The remarkable feature of Uluṟu is its homogeneity and lack of jointing and parting at bedding surfaces, leading to the lack of development of scree slopes and soil. These characteristics led to its survival, while the surrounding rocks were eroded.[3]

Uluṟu is composed of coarse grained sandstone, specifically a type of sandstone referred to as arkose because it contains an abundance of feldspar.[4][2][3] It also contains a significant quantity of quartz, other silicate minerals and rock fragments. The minerals present are in similar proportions to that found in granite, which makes up much of the ranges to the south. When fresh, the rock has a grey colour, but weathering of iron-bearing minerals by the process of oxidation gives the outer surface layer of rock a red-brown rusty colour.

Uluru is a sandstone formation and therefore, I would surmise, it is impossible for it to be a meteor remnant.

I personally don't think it's a meteor myself...wheres the 'impact' evidence?

I climbed The Mighty Rock twice and i can tell you this as fact though...

What an view.

Well, concidering that It is the second-largest monolith in the world (after Mount Augustus, also in Australia), more than 318 m (986 ft) high and 8 km (5 miles) around. It also extends 2.5 km (1.5 miles) into the ground. I imagine you did have quite a view up there on that rock...

lol!

Yea Tommy, i tell ya it almost killed me climbing it(guided tour) but once up top the view was unforgettable.

For years though the local Indigenous Aboriginal Elders protested to have the tours banned because they held the rock as sacred to them and their people as well as the damage that was being done to the surrounding area and the rock itself buy thousands of tourists a year.
These are great shots i found of 'Uluru' aka Ayers Rock...click on the images to see multiple shots...in the back ground you'll see another of the natural wonders 'Kata Tjuta' aka (The Olgas)

later bro...
