Stunning Waterfalls Gush Down Side Of Ayers Rock After Heavy Storms

This is the moment huge waterfalls gush down the sides of Ayers Rock in Australia after heavy rains battered the region last week.

Tourism worker Stacey MacGregor, 37, filmed the images at Ayers Rock, also known as Uluru, a huge sandstone rock formation in Australia’s Northern Territory.

The rock is sacred to the Pitjantjatjara, the aboriginal people of the area also known as the Aṉangu, the name for several aboriginal groups in the region.

The images of Ayers Rock, which has prohibited climbing since 2019, were taken after the Northern Territory was battered by strong storms.

MacGregor told Newsflash: “I work in tourism and have been living and working in resorts around Australia for 15 years. I have lived at Ayers Rock Resort for four years working for Uluru Camel Tours in Reservations.

“One clip is of my friend Meegan Ebert, who is now known as ‘the girl in the yellow jacket’, and this was taken at the Kitchen Cave on Sunday 21st March.

“It had been raining all day at Uluru, which does not happen often, and the rain started getting heavier at 5pm so went back to the National Park and got these great shots.”

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, MacGregor said the resort is busy with Australian visitors, but many tours were ditched due to the weather conditions.

She told Newsflash: “It was all residents in the park in the afternoon. The resort is busy, but to get back out to the National Park, guests need rental vehicles which are fully booked and all tours were cancelled due to the rain.”
