Uluru at peace.

The climb finishes today. A simple ceremony Sunday will celebrate the return to the traditional owners.

All evidence of Uluru climb to be removed

Uluru is at peace? I didn’t know that it was at war?

No biggie, I haven't been and i won't now. Haven't got time to go all the way out there to a cattleyard for tourists. Too busy - there's only 12 years until extinction.

How does preventing people from walking on a rock equate to it being "at peace"? It's a rock. You appear to reside in Brighton, Brisbane. Do you want to see the "traditional owners" given back your particular piece of real estate? Would Brighton be at peace if you were forced out?

This is not personal against you, but this whole thing is utterly ridiculous. What's next? Will we stop people skiing Hotham? Ferries in the Harbour? Let's tear down the Harbour Bridge, and bulldoze the Opera House. I wouldn't mind if they bulldozed Fed Square and Docklands Stadium, but that's just me. But I'm pretty sure someone will make a claim on the MCG, or the Hydro Majestic. Maybe we should all get on wooden ships and go back to where we all came from. The so called "traditional owners" laid no claim to Ayer's Rock for 200 years after Cook got here. The activists that chose to provoke this stupidity have lived in Australia for far less years than I have. I do not acknowledge them, and I never will. I respect the ( trigger warning ) aboriginal people who lived here, but I'm not hearing from them, I'm hearing from a mob looking for a free buck.

There is a monolith in West Australia, twice the size of Ayer's Rock, called Mount Augustus. Is it now at peace as well? Or are we now prevented from enjoying it too. What about the Wolf Creek crater? Does that now belong to John Jarrett. Nobody else seems to have claimed it. Yet.

Must be getting closer to 11 years now..... Strange how the Maldives stubbornly remain above SL, and yet get richer.

Nobody worries about Fiji though, and they are lower.... Maybe those pesky coral polyps are working harder there, but perishing from the warmth on the GBR?

Logic is a concept that seems to have escaped many. Not you though. Bravo. Good to see another who isn't convinced.

I was there in April and climbed it.
I have no doubt whatsoever that it will be open to climb again in the future. But I’ll bet by then you will not be allowed to climb it for free.
Then again the world ends in less than 12 years so what will it matter.

Your ignorance is only surpassed by your lack of understanding. No offence meant.

I’m sure Johntins understands perfectly.
How can calling someone ignorant not be offensive?

**grey_ghost** · 26th October 2019, 06:48 AM

I’ve noticed that if someone has a different opinion to Bob, he tends to look down on them.

We all have different opinions and life would be boring if we all thought the same thing.

Just imagine a world full of white Toyota Corollas!

I myself and more of a live and let live kinda ghost.

People can live in ignorance through no fault of their own. My post was in no way meant to be offensive. Sorry if it was taken that way. The only evidence I will present is that relating to Land claims. Johntins post ranting to me about land claims on my property were so far off the mark, that it is worth just ignoring. But I wont. I will attempt to educate.

In a nutshell.
What land can be claimed?

Aboriginal people can only claim vacant government-owned land ("Crown land") under the Native Title Act and they must prove a continuous relationship with this land."Freehold title" is land owned by individual owners, companies or local councils. Such lands cannot be claimed.
