> "Uluru," as Ayers Rock is called by Anangu Aborigines, is a sacred site in the middle of Australia.
> formed over a period of about 500 million years, the Aborigines think of it as a symbol of all creation
> that Uluru was once an ocean, but after a great battle at its shores, it rose up in revolt at the bloodshed, forming the great blood-colored rock.

7. Fraser Island
> earliest known name of the island is 'K'gari' in the Butchulla people's language (pronounced 'Gurri').
It means paradise.
According to Aboriginal legend, when humans were created and needed a place to live, the mighty god Beiral sent his messenger Yendingie with the goddess K’gari down from heaven to create the land and mountains, rivers and sea. K’gari fell in love with the earth’s beauty and did not want to leave it.
So Yendingie changed her into a heavenly island – Fraser Island.
