    Had friends complain about that at Kakadu, so i did some research, and found that their camping fees only cover 7% of the cost to run the park.
    ive always wanted to do Kakadu. My mate said it should be called Kakadont, just because it's a rip off. Always liked Wilsons Prom. I'd still go back there. Very fond memories with the kids.

    I would like to climb Ayers Rock though.

    I have No problem with the traditional owners making this decision it is after all a very significant site for these people and to us white folk it is merely an interesting rock formation and a curiosity.

    and what about the millions of years before that?
    do the romans own the colosseum? they are the rightful owner (they built it afterall) but times change.

    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.
    Church I go to has a massive front wall and tower that would be PERFECT for a rock climbing wall (except for the stairs at the base). You've given me an idea...

    who owns the cradle mountains?

    speaking of law, how will it be enforced?
    do you get a fine if you climb it?
    if so, then the fine is simply an entry fee.

    The government owns the Cradle Mountains, it's a national park.
