Rain on the Rock

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

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