AdvertisementWater is cascading down the side of Uluru after torrential rain, creating stunning waterfalls against the world-famous rock and changing the colour of its red face. The incredibly rare event was caused by almost 50mm of rain falling on the desert area in Northern Territory's Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park over the weekend. Formerly known as Ayres Rock, thousands of tourists flocked to the Northern Territory to climb Uluru before it was banned in October 2019. Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park's board of management, made up of a majority of Aboriginal traditional owners, unanimously decided to close the climb. On 26 October 1985 Uluru and Kata Tjuta - formerly known as the Olgas - were handed back to the Anangu people.
