Winfrey, 56, wore an orange and white button-up shirt, khakis and a hat, as cameras continued rolling on her tour of the continent, which will be among the last broadcasts of her daytime talk show before it goes off the air at the end of the year.
Uluru is a large rock formation in Central Australia that’s considered a sacred in the Aboriginal culture; it’s designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In Uluru, she was given a necklace by Annangu Elder Judy Trigger, while in Melbourne, the talk show icon -- flanked by Prime Minister Julia Gillard -- spoke to more than 8,000 fervent fans at Federation Square.
"I've never seen a welcome like this in my life. In. My. Life," Winfrey said. "I don't know what it is with you guys, I was saying this to the prime minister, I don't know what it is, do y'all go to like friendly school? Everybody is so darn friendly.
