Ancient monolith of dreamtime

Bearing the scars of time and wind and desecration

Rains have brought your arid plains to life

Desert myrtle, acacia and a myriad of flowers

Briefly cover the rust red dunes.

Tourists in their thousands

Pay tribute to your majesty

While the dark-skinned custodians

Of the sacred sites remain invisible

Keeping inviolate the secrets of Uluru.
