Uluru (Ayers Rock) One of Australia’s most famous landmarks stands tall against the flat desert region of the “Red Center” of the Northern Territory. More than 400,000 visitors each year come to Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock. It is a monolith, like a huge boulder, that rises over 1,100 feet (340 m) above the desert plain, measures almost six miles (9.6 km) around its base and covers an area of over two square miles (3.2 km2).
Evolutionary timescales for the formation of Uluru span hundreds of millions of years of floods, deposition and tectonic activity. However, Looking at the evidence found in Uluru from a biblical perspective, we see that this wonderful formation did not result from millions of years of local flooding, erosion and tectonic activity. Rather, it was formed catastrophically by one major event and its after-effects—the Flood of Noah’s day.
The global Flood described in Genesis 6–8 generated the precise conditions to tear up, transport and deposit the nearly 20,000 feet (6,000 m) of sediment that now make up this formation as layers of jagged, mixed-sized grains. The tectonic activity that ended the global Flood was responsible for the tilting and uplifting of the hardened layers we see at Uluru today. After this uplift, the landscape dried out, turning it into today’s surrounding desert.
Enjoy the impressive beauty of Uluru, and don’t forget that this amazing formation gives evidence of the Genesis Flood." Full text: Creation Road Trip http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/am/v1/n1/creation-road-trip-more
