Last issue we reported on the possibility of Parks Australia banning climbing on iconic Uluru. Here’s what you thought‌
It should NOT be banned. It’s a fabulous experience to do this walk. I agree that we should respect the wishes of the indigenous owners of Uluru. I’m amazed that climbing has not been already banned. I think we should all still be able to climb it‌ Aboriginals still climb it. It’s just political grandstanding.
