Isaac of Uluru is a faith healer who lives in Uluru, in the Australian outback near Ayers Rock.
Isaac has a room decorated with canes, walkers and wheelchairs, apparently belonging to people whom he has healed. He also has a wall filled with pictures, postcards and thank you letters from his former clients. One of the recurring images on two cards on the wall is a Buddhist symbol called the dharmacakra. Isaac claims that his home is above a geological "place of power" and that he uses it to heal.
Bernard brought Rose to Isaac to be healed from cancer and donated $10,000 dollars for the purpose. He failed to heal Rose saying that she needed a different type of place, and he didn't know where that was. Isaac offered to repay Bernard's money, but Rose declined this offer, telling him she wanted to tell Bernard that she was successfully healed. ("S.O.S.")

Mythology of Uluru
There are many myths pertaining to Uluru and the mysterious formation of the giant monolith. One myth recounts that two tribes of ancestral spirits were invited to a feast, but were distracted by a beautiful Sleepy Lizard Women and did not show up. In response, the angry hosts sang evil into a mud sculpture that came to life as the dingo. There followed a great battle, which ended in the deaths of the leaders of both tribes. The earth itself rose up in grief at the bloodshed, becoming Uluru.
It is also often stated that those who take rocks from the formation will be cursed and suffer misfortune. Such as the rocks taken by Jack from Adam and Eve. This is because spirits of people who have died on or around Uluru are believed to be bound to the area forever. And stealing from Uluru disturbs their death.
Every year hundreds of tourists who have visited Uluru and stolen rocks from the site send the rocks back believing they have been cursed.
