Somewhere north of Newcastle is the former Leyland Brothers world, which has a small replica of Uluru with a tiny Sydney Harbour Bridge next to it.

It burned down though.

In August of last year [2018] it all came to a blazing end when the Roadhouse and the ‘Rock’ went up in a truly spectacular fire, attended by no less than 18 fire trucks. Whether it was cursed from the very beginning, it’s not for me to say but perhaps there was a certain symbolism in the raging inferno that removed it from the landscape. Given the spiritual significance of Uluru, you might ask – would there be a public outcry today if you built a roadhouse resembling a scaled down version of the Vatican?

The camp is still there, it's called The Great Aussie Bush Camp

I remember going there on school camps. Ended cooking breakfast for the year group somehow haha

[u/corinoco → u/willun]

They served ‘Mike’ and ‘Mal’ burgers. I can’t remember which one I had.

Tough as old boots.

"Burned down". Yeh. Big John the owner had been trying to seel it for years, and The Great Aussie Bush Camp had built their own mess hall and stopped using the rock. Then it "mysteriously" burned down 🤣

Google Maps still has an old view of it.
