    Urulu – The Extraordinary Pebble – Part IV
    The Urulu or Ayers Rock is the second biggest monolithic formation globally, following Mount Augustus that is also located in Australia. Nearly twenty-five kilometres from Uluru, is yet another consecrated rock formation called the Kata Tjuta that means ‘several heads’ also known as ‘the Olgas’ that got the name due to Queen Olga from Württemberg during 1872. The rock layers that constitute Uluru are thought to be nearly of the similar age and origin as the one at Kata Tjuta, in spite of the varying nature of the rocks found in them. The Urulu rock strata are virtually vertical, plummeting to the south-west direction at an 85 degree angle, having a bare thickness of nearly 2,400metres. There are exceptional viewing locales that are accessible by road and parking being built to enable sightseers to partake in the finest  [...]

    Urulu – The Extraordinary Pebble – Part III
    Urulu, an inselberg or island mountain is situated in the Urulu-Kata Tjuta National Park, about 450kms south-west of Alice Springs, accessible by road. This secluded vestige left subsequent to gradual wearing down of an original mountain range, is outstanding due its hominoid nature, devoid of joints and parts at bedding planes that lead to the dearth of expansion of rock debris slopes and soil, all of which played a crucial role in its sustenance while the adjoining rocks faced erosion. The west and central Australian aboriginals identify themselves as Anangu that means ‘human beings’. The Anangu present in the Urulu region comprise of two varied language factions namely, the Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara. Australian natives consider themselves as the direct successors of the familial beings and religiously adhere to ceremonies,  [...]

    Urulu – The Extraordinary Pebble – Part II
    The nearly triangular Urulu, not theoretically a monolith has a more solid external surface in comparison to a majority of rocky formations that permits the presence of the atypically precipitous rock faces that wind downwards to base level. The Urulu is an entirely barren rock formation devoid of even a miniscule amount of vegetation that interestingly augments to its austere and mystic splendour. A sharp disparity is conversely observed at the bottom of the rock formation that is nurtured by the rain water over spilling from Urulu, leading to the formation of a prolific haven of water pools, abundant influx of vegetation and an array of wild animal forms. This led to it becoming an idyllic locale by the Aborigines to carry out various ceremonies, who laid base here in the grottos with sustenance derived from the water and accessible  [...]
