Description

Rising above the desert plain, Uluru stands,
ancient feet planted deep within the dry red earth.
For much of the year, Uluru bakes in the kuli.
But on rare days when rain-song beats,
waterfalls cascade down the rock,
creatures stir ...
and Uluru and Kata Tjuta burst into life.

Rain on the Rock celebrates the impact of rain on Uluru and the Kata Tjua National Park. Told using vivid imagery, and in harmony with Anangu's connection to Country, Rain on the Rock depicts the unique beauty of one of Australia’s most iconic landscapes.
