This hand carved Uluru from native Gidgee timber captures the essence of rural Australian life and an appreciation of the great monolith at the heart of this country. Just as we are moulded by the harsh environment, isolation and time, Uluru stands as a testimony of Australian rural life with a rugged yet complex beauty. Gidgee is one of the hardest timbers in the world having a hardness similar to that of sandstone and the piece is displayed atop a base similar to the Japanese Suiseki rock appreciation art form.
