How Was Uluru Formed?
- The Petermann Orogeny was a mountain building competition.
- When they were formed the Petermann Ranges was a high mountain range.
- It was high like the Alps and the Himalayas.
- Now we can see only the 'nubs' and the 'roots' as Dr Marita Bradshaw said.
- The colour is red due to the oxidastion or because of the rusting metal.

- I believe Uluru shouldn't be climbed on because it is being rude to the
- Anangu and Aboriginal people and to their land.
- Many people are afraid that tourists will leave their rubbish on the ground
- Uluru could become damaged from people if they kick or push rocks.
- some people have died from climbing because of the heat or dehydration.
