Tourists flocked to the iconic red rock in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in the Northern Territory in central Australia to witness the event.

"It may happen a few times each year. The last time this happened was in January," tour guide Monica Foster told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

Only about 1 percent of tourists to Uluru see rain at the site, according to the ABC, with rain steady enough to cause the waterfalls being even more rare.
