A rare bout of rain has turned Uluru into a series of waterfalls, with footage emerging of the wondrous sight.
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park shared a series of images and videos showing the transformation, after the area received 22 mm of rain earlier in the week.
Though that might not sound like a lot of rain, Parks Australia said the area’s average rainfall is just under 300 mm — meaning it received seven percent of its annual rain in a single night.
Parks Australia shared the “rare and magical” moment on social media, with one video capturing both the amazing sight and the sounds of burrowing frogs calling to each other.
“For most of the year these frogs are underground, avoiding hot and dry conditions,” Parks Australia explained in the caption.
“They emerge after rain to breed, feed and return underground to evade perishing in the harsh weather conditions.
“They continue to call for the next day or so, especially in the early morning and at dusk.”

But it isn’t the first time this kind of moment has been witnessed.
Last year, the area received 30mm of rain — the biggest downpour in three years — which created a series of waterfalls that poured over Uluru.
Following the most recent deluge, Parks Australia confirmed that the weather has since cleared.
“At about 5.30pm last night the skies lifted and it was clear that the Irish are right and there is a treasure at the rainbow,” the organisation wrote on Thursday, alongside a trio of photos capturing a double rainbow stretched across Uluru.
