It also seems pretty pointless. Surely the most dramatic/best thing to look at round there is Uluru itself and you can't see it if you're standing on it.

a church is a man made object.

How about banning cycling, that would keep the d4 drivers safe

Out of the 84% how many were elderly, not fit enough etc.

they close it when its too sunny, too cloudy etc. so its been deliberately closed ~75% of the time over the last 5 years. so the question should be, how many wanted to climb it and were unable to.

They are quite happy to sting tourist $43 a night for an unpowered site though.

I’ll have so many customers, I don’t need a huge mark up.

National parks charging crazy money for unpowered sites is not unique to Uluru...

Take a look at what an unpowered site will cost you at tidal river on Wilson's Promontory


To save you clicking... it's $57.20.. on a weekday.... higher on weekends.
