Uluru is a significant landform to aboriginal people and they have believed that it was formed back in the dreamtime stories by their ancestors. It was first discovered in 1873 by William Gosse who was the first non- aboriginal person to discover Uluru and It first became a land mark in the late 1930s. Uluru is still exceptionally important today because it is a sacred site and how they believe that it isn't just a rock and that it is a living breathing rock that is a place for their ancient spirits of the region to lay. Uluru is located in southwestern Northern Territory in central Australia and is a home for aboriginal people that live here. ]]> 2022-03-18 13:14:34 UTC https://padlet.com/leilahill/Bookmarks/wish/2101897963 leilahill https://padlet.com/leilahill/Bookmarks/wish/2101971793
Geomorphic processors
The atmospheric processors of weathering, erosion and deposition are what form your landscapes and landforms. This happens when the heat from the earths core creates currents within the mantle and causes the tectonic plates to move which then causes your landscape or landform to physically move.
How Uluru was formed
Around 500 million years ago, the whole area was covered in water. Mud and sand started to fall into the sea and it started to build up onto the bottom of the sea bed, including these fans. Because of the weight of the new sea bed it started to turn the fans into rock. The sandy fan became sandstone which became Uluru and the rocky fan became conglomerate rock which is Kata Tjuta. Around 100 years later the water started to disappear from around all of the rocks. The rocks started to fold and change as the tectonic plates shifted over years and as the tectonic plates did shift it made Uluru tilt 90 degrees.
How has Uluru changed over time?
Over the past 300 million years all of the other softer rocks started to disappear which then left the incredible forms of Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Uluru is now one of the top tourist attractions in Australia and has around 250,000 who visit Uluru each year!]]> 2022-03-18 13:55:35 UTC https://padlet.com/leilahill/Bookmarks/wish/2101971793 leilahill https://padlet.com/leilahill/Bookmarks/wish/2101981809 https://parksaustralia.gov.au/uluru/discover/nature/geology/#:~:text=Around%20500%20million%20years%20ago,conglomerate%20rock%20(Kata%20Tjuta).

The traditional management strategies for Uluru was Fire management - Cultural burning. Burning fire has been part of the land management for thousands of years, the Traditional owners of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, have lived on and managed this land for more than 30,000 years.
Patch burning
They used a lot of patch burning, patch burning is a controlled type of burning using numerous small fires at one time. It was designed to protect the vegetation from destructive burning and the many small patches are burned so that large areas are protected from accidental burning. This management strategy helped Uluru because it helps grow bush foods so all the aboriginal people had plenty to eat, It makes it easier to walk around and flushes out game animals. Game animals are animals such as kangaroo, deer, wild pigs, rabbits etc. Burning around Uluru also reduces fuel loads which is preventing the risk of large wildfires. The Traditional burning of the Uluru area stopped when Anangu were removed from the region during the 1930s. To further protect the land and its natural resources, the Indigenous people rotated around the area. This way, there was time for regrowth's to take place, and for animals to reproduce. The people of the Anangu tribe, who were situated around Uluru, also did this. It was very important for the sacred country, home to many spirits, to stay safe and protected.

were the traditional strategies effective?
The fire burning strategies were affective because its patch burning is an effective management strategy applied to maintain maximum diversity within the park.

Ever since Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park was handed back to its traditional owners in 1985 Uluru is now looked after by the Anangu people who are the traditional owners of the land and also the Australian Government. This decision of including aboriginal people and white people was important because it is a balance of the traditional owners and current civilisation who have situated the land. To keep the traditional aboriginal future and techniques alive, the board has come to the decision to start fuel reduction burns. This helps the plants and shrubs around Uluru to regrow and reproduce, keeping them healthy. 
Another decision the joint board made was to ban people from walking on Uluru. This decision was made in 2017 but everyone stopped walking on it in October 26, 2019. This decision was made because of the spiritual significance of the site, as well as for safety and environmental reasons. According to the national park "at least 35 people have died while attempting to climb Uluru, and many others have been injured." This proves that this decision from the joint board was a safe procedure for all people.
