Uluru was much more than " a big rock in the middle of nowhere". In fact, before European settlement, it was the shelter and home for thousands of aboriginal people. While its main purpose might have been to shelter animals and people, it was also used as a blank canvas. Many indigenous commnunities across ausralia used other sacred spaces (mainly rocks) to paint their own unique experiences, totems and dreamtime stories on.
the peaceful sound of wildlife, people and the bright sun beaming into Jarrah's eyes brought his sleep to a slow end. The Yankunytjatjara people of uluru started gathering around the sacred site. Jarrah was one of the first kids to get up. He could hear the adults mumbling to each other as they got ready for the day.  
Once Jarrahs mother saw that he had awoken, she quickly called on him. "Jarrah, once you have eaten, please go and get some more paint for the men." After finsihing off a quick meal of fruit and nuts, he set off.  The paint consisted mainly of ocre and water mixed together. Jarrah made the short walk to the overhanging cliffs. Ocre was generally found in rocks or in the dirso thats where Jarrah started. He grabbed a rock and stared digging into the ground.
 Soon enough, he found the rich, orange powder he was searching for. He tore off some bark from a nearby tree, scooped up the ochre and started walking back. Once back at camp, he mixed it with water to create paint. They would be happy with this.
The group all took turns in painting - Some painted their totems, some painted animals, some painted symbols. By the end of the day, the blank wall was now full of colour.  Orange, brown, white and red drawings were now gracing the walls of uluru. Stories from our dream time were also visible.
Today, many of these paintings are still visible and are a popular tourist attraction. A lot of these indigenous drawings are in danger of being damaged by rain, sun and humans actions. Many indigenous Australians still do drawings, but they use different types of paint and do different drawings.
