    Respect?...absolutely, and we knew exactly what we were doing, and where we were, when we climbed it.
    Sacred sites?. I am a practising Anglican,..we have plenty of sacred sites, all over the World. A Church is a "sacred Site", and the Sanctuary is very much more so. We do not stop anyone from entering, they are free to enter any part of the Church they wish, as long as they remember where they are, and behave appropriately.
    I cannot remember the names of the "Traditional Owners" of The Rock, I'm sure someone can tell me, I thought it began with an A, but from what I've read, there are divided views on what they would like to do. 50% apparently want to close it for climbing, but the other 50% want to close it, .
    Ularu is on the eastern boundary of the Pitjandjara tribe. Almost all of the rock has religious significence to the people. There are areas women must not go, where men must not go, and where uninitiated boys must not go. Are visitors allowed to go to the vestry, in your church, where the vestments are kept?
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    Should tourists climb Uluru? If they want. I've climbed it. I suffered no ill effects.
    It's hard on the Achilles though.
    It's not illegal. The tourism mobs encourage it.
    Would I climb it again? No. Been there, done that. Next time I'm there, I'll take a walk around the rock. Just as tiring but more interesting I'm told.

    Oh, remember to take water.

    I will never forget the view from the top, when I finally reached it.
    360 degree views of,...."redness",.....I could immediately see why this area is called the "Red centre",....and I could also see the Olgas.
    Whilst I was taking it all in, and appreciating this superb, uninterrupted, view, which is AUSSIE, I just thought what a wonderful country we live in.

    Welcome Pickles. Any thoughts on the traditional owners feelings?

    Something to consider, but you have to have concentration, and patience.

    funny how no-one was compaining about it and it was still heavily encouraged when all the proceeds was dontated back to the local indig community after it was first handed back to the original owners....

    hang about....

    The aboriginals were nomadic...

    anyone want to put a pin in a timeline as to when the complaints restarted?

    Actually, that did not happen.I think it's called an urban myth.
