1985 - Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) are returned to Aboriginal owners.

In 1985, the Australian government returned ownership of Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) to the traditional Aboriginal owners, the Anangu people.

This was a major step in the recognition of Aboriginal land rights in Australia.

The return of Uluru and Kata Tjuta to the Anangu was the result of a long struggle by Aboriginal people and their allies.

The Anangu people had been fighting for recognition of their rights to their traditional lands since the 1950s.

In 1983, the Australian government passed the Aboriginal Land Rights Act, which made it possible for Aboriginal people to claim traditional lands.

The Anangu people launched a successful claim for the return of Uluru and Kata Tjuta in 1985.

The return of the two sites was seen as a major victory for Aboriginal people in Australia.
