The first European to see Uluru was explorer William Gosse in 1873, who named it Ayers Rock after the Chief Secretary of South Australia. In 1985, ownership was returned to the Anangu people.
Today, Uluru is jointly managed by the Anangu traditional owners and Parks Australia, preserving both its cultural significance and natural beauty for future generations.
