Thread: Climbing Uluru to be banned from 2019

It been a real eye opener reading the posts - its very obvious that there are two opposing views and nothing too much in the middle. After travelling in my LR into many remote areas of Australia I’ve come to love Australia and what we stand for. I love the Australian way of life and how we accept others as cobbers. I have also come to appreciate that the Aborigines have lived here for 60,000 years - the oldest existing civilisation in the world. I’ve learnt and can respect that over 60,000 years they have developed a deep spiritual connection with the land. The land and its water have for 60,000 years provided them with all that they need to survive and from all accounts very comfortably. As we all know the last 200years had been an environmental disaster - Murray Darling Basin is stuffed, the Coorong is now hyper saline, the Great Barrier Reef will be knackered within the next 10 years. You only have to travel through our national parks to see the devastation caused by goats. Poor farming practices are causing dry land salinity. Land clearing is occurring at a devastating rate in Queensland. Big greedy businesses are stealing water from the Darling for their cotton farms. You and I who travel this land don’t benefit from these corporate disasters and our indigenous forefathers are left with their spiritual connections broken or scarred. I for one don’t want to lose such an amazing history and will support any actions or policy that attempts to preserve the indigenous history and their culture before it is too late and we lose that as well.

Mate, I really, really wish I had said that. Possibly the only " fair dinkum " post.

Or Bob - you could go join a general forum that’s not LR based?

"Nothing to do with me"?.....all good then,....Me...."Lost the plot"?.....absolutely possible!
Let the discuussion continue, because like I've always said, I'm always up for that, and of course there is asolutely no way that I would expect 100% agreeance with my views, or me with theirs, and thank goodness in this great country of ours, we are lucky to be able to enjoy differing opions, without fear or consequence,...many people, in other Countries, cannot enjoy such freedoms.

All the AULRO alternative population is out tonight. Is it a full moon?

What is it with people who can't resist picking at a pimple until it bleeds? Don't click, don't need to comment on what doesn't interest you, don't need to tell a fellow Land Rover owner what they are and aren't allowed to talk about in "General Chat".

Anyway, 'cos I'm basically a nice guy I've worked especially hard to find an authentic picture of the Blessed Rock and a Land Rover, both at the same time. Enjoy!

Late night shopping, they'll be here soon with a slab to lubricate their thoughts.
