    NT to bring back climbing Uluru?

    In partnership with local indigenous people, with safety harnesses like the harbour bridge, accompanied by indigenous guides. Just a proposal at this stage.

    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

    ****ing hypocrites if they allow or get pressured to allowing people to climb.

    It is well discussed before it was closing what they were going to do if numbers reduced. Virus or not a % of punters would/are choosing not to visit if they cannot climb.

    Harness, guide, more infrastructure oh and suddenly it now OK to step on the rock.

    All I’ve read is government and business making comment....have the owners piped in.

    I do believe that the closure of the rock was more politically motivated that it was a cultural issue and it was always just a matter of time before the lack of revenue would start to effect this decision.

    Just a thought bubble from the Alice Springs major business group, not sure how far it will go, but they didn't consult the traditional owners first. Typical.

    But the idea was flatly rejected by Sammy Wilson, who was chairman of the Uluru Kata-Tjuta board of management in 2017 when the decision was made to close the climb.“No. Enough is enough. The word is no,” said Mr Wilson, who remains on the board.“We don’t want to open a can of worms or put more logs on the fire.”Traditional owners say closing the climb presents an opportunity for visitors to experience the spectacular country around Uluru and learn about the Anangu people and culture.
