    It's getting ugly round there, a **** ton of FIFO tourists getting their Instagram fix.

    To improve things I would:

    Close the airport to tourist/passenger flights. Visitors must arrive overland.

    Ban commercial helicopter fly overs.

    Allow for camping around the rock. (A 360 ring of generous camping area, not too close but with Uluru in sight). Park ticket gets you access and three nights. Any overstay charged on exit.

    No climbing by default, invite only.

    Hot air balloons for elevated views.

    I voted yes and when there in 2017 we decided not to climb it instead we went around it on Segways

    You just said they were in an earlier post - you can't use an analogy like that then go back on it because it doesn't suit your argument any more. The Banning of Climbing Uluru (Ayers Rock) - thoughts on this article?

    There was a TV series a few years ago that involved the commentator climbing a lot of iconic buildings, being suspended near the roof and such things. It was very interesting and informative.
