(1143 ft.) high, rising sheer from an horizon-to-horizon plain of red sand in central Australia. Erosion at the base of Uluru is worrying conservationists. "When the spinifex grass is trampled by visitors, 55,000 of whom visit the rock each year, the area is quickly eroded by wind and water and drifting red sands spread across the land." -- On reverse.
