I recently visited Uluru in the Northern Territory of Australia.
Watch this grand and massive rock dramatically change as the sunset, sets.

ACTUALLY, you can visit this small scale version of the rock in Karuah, NSW Australia. It is only 2,860 km away from the real thing. Have a zoom in on both ends of this map to get the full effect.
It was the brain child of Australian entertainment pioneers of the 1970’s and 80’s The Leyland Brothers.

In the land of “Big Things” this one ranks among the most sacred, even though it is 40 times smaller than the actual rock itself. The Big Banana, for example is 11 metres long. That’s at least 11 times bigger than an already, extremely large banana.
