    The old one can go back to being a perching place for blowies and wedgies.
    Leyland Bros kinda tried that but it didnt work.

    I bet there is an underground church somewhere in the world, and you can walk on top of it. No big deal.

    Superstitions hold the world back. Progress dissolves superstitions. We dont let people that believe the world is flat dictate to us.

    Allowing fair freedoms to be shut down because of ludicrous fabrications is a destitute road to follow. Empowering zero evidence, irrational beliefs, takes you halfway towards religious fundamentalism, all you are missing is the violence. But then again, Australian Aborigines arent non violent, in some aspects. There goes your front tooth, or some bruises on your wife.

    Irrational beliefs are a mess you dont want to empower.

    I climbed Ayers as a young teen. I hope to climb it again some day. I was told at the time that going around the base is even better, and i hope to do that too.

    Something you may want to look into in regards to our indigenous Australians.

    I have had the pleasure. And a good experience it was, but I just can't imagine you back in the cold, cold, winter.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    That's because the claim was made by Toyota drivers.

    Climbing Uluru to be banned from 2019

    As Pat 303 said, it's there for all Australians. I'm tired of being marginalised and over regulated in my own country. Seems every day I hear some liberty we once had has been amended (read lost). Fine, just don't go. The revenue won't be there and the lease the government is paying for the park will dry up. Talk about killing the goose.......

    The National Park remains so that income stream remains - so in reality not much changes.
