Just got back from Ayers Rock (Uluru). In the interest of keeping this mildly about climbing here's a pic of "the climb" - an easy slab route maybe grade 2? Though steep enough that you'd not want to solo the greased section without the aid of the rail. The rock in general had a brittle surface, though with stunning height. It did just cry out to be climbed (or walked in this case).

You're only about a third of the way up here, though the rest is much less steep. For the landscapes (non climbing), see here. I had a great deal of fun, though 2 days driving (12 hrs per) and 2 back again was pushing the boundaries of boredom. Petrol hit 176 cents per litre. Camping ranged from free to $15 a night. Distance from camp to rock: 20km. All up a good experience and well recommended.
