Society/Culture Climbing Uluru to be banned in 2019.

[Mofra]

How much has it cost Australian tax payers to keep up the expectations of local revenue now that the primary tourist attraction has been closed?

It's not closed.
There are no people climbing Uluru but the packages for camping stays, walks, talk, sunset / sunrise breakfasts etc are still operating.

I was there a few years ago and out of my group and two other groups, not one person climbed it.

They chose, they can deal with the consequences. Hopefully not one more taxpayer cent is provided to try mitigate the self inflicted damage to local employment.

Government handouts and a tax should fix this unforseen event.

Paying the "rent"

If only there was a way for Aborigines to be responsible for their own financial security... hrmmmm.

I'm expected to believe that they would be happier sleeping out in the elements, catching all their food and living to a ripe old age of 30. Of course, I have never met an actual "aboriginal" who is even remotely close to being that stupid. This notion springs from an insane minority.

I wonder how much it would cost to buy Uluru.

Just think, when Cook arrived the indigenous populations were missing the luxury of dying in a poor house in Georgian England!

And they have the nerve to be ungrateful to the English for bringing European civilisation to this desolate island!

For shame!

 

[Snake_Baker]

Indeed. Would they have the wheel by now if the English hadn't arrived?

They were clever enough to invent to boomerang on their own.

Going to have to find another venue to play the 60,001st annual Marngrook cup

Apparently the top of Uluru gives a mean return bounce back if you don’t catch the ball on the full

Has tourism dropped since humans can’t clearly climb the rock?

The amount of special offers that come up in my facebook feed would suggest tourist numbers are indeed down
I couldn't attribute it to anything else (no bushfires in the region, floods, etc)

Get Trump on it.

The world's largest waterslide from the top to the bottom is what I'd build.

Do you think the hoteliers and resort owners chose this outcome?

Perfect weather conditions too.

This would save our economy !!

Um ofcourse. If we need it they do as well. We are all human. All made of the same stuff.

That is a good point, I was thinking more of indigenous businesses and indigenous staff (assuming that they were consulted by the elders who made the decision)

I guess however if the businesses invested knowing the owners of Uluru wanted to.stop it being climbed, they knew there.was a risk and should have planned accordingly as it should always have been.the owners decision.
