These spectacular birds-eye views of Uluru, offering a never before seen perspective of the 600 million year old monolith, were captured by the first drone to ever operate under permit inside Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.
Uluru is the tip of a huge rock that continues below the ground for possibly 5-6km. Uluru is 3.6km long and 348m at its tallest point. That is 43m higher than Sydney's Centrepoint Tower, 24m higher than the Eiffel Tower and just 33m lower than the Empire State Building.
The colour changes of Uluru result from the filtering effect of the earth's atmosphere on the sun's rays.

From Nikki's FB page: "For those that didnt know the story... one day i came home from work ready to dance the shitty day away when i came home to this beautiful creature who turned my whole day around!! She sat there while i talked to her and took photos and did not growl once. She wasnt so impressed with my shiny slipperey crome tree but definitely made the ladys at daisy hill koala conservation resuce day and made their staff xmas card as their first poledancing koala. I will never forget this day #onlyinaustralia"
