Uluru a Cultural Meeting Place

The Indigenous theme for this rug focuses on a beautiful campfire under the eyes of Uluru.The Aboriginal ancestors
are depicted, performing their dance rituals around the fire. The presence of spirits in the dark evening sky
is subtly evident. The border of this rug shows symbols for family, meeting places, emu tracks, kangaroos and
waterholes.
