The Aborigines ask that we don't climb Uluru, the iconic Rock that sits in the Red Centre of Australia. Why? Because it is a sacred place for the Aborigines. So, what do we do instead? There are so many things, from riding camels to hiking and biking and immersing in Aboriginal culture. And, we watch the Rock from the ground, and feel good about ourselves for honoring traditions and showing respect.
This is a beautiful place in Australia’s Northern Territory as known as the Red Centre.🇦🇺
Closing the climb is a big mistake. Why can't climbers and visitors be seen as supportive / supporters of the region? I've been to Uluru three times (1980, 1995 and 2014) and climbed on the first two visits. I'll re-visit before October 2019 simply so I can do the climb one final time. As a widely published photo-journalist, I also wrote magazine articles about not only the region but also the indigenous beliefs surrounding the Rock. Climbing or not climbing doesn't change anything - just treat the area as a place that should be kept clean and tidy, and be careful on the trek to the top. Accidents have happened.
I would recommend to climb it! There’s already talk of how much tourism (money) will be lost through people not being able to climb it.
yes but at what expense? I think it's important that as travelers we keep in mind the relationship locals have with their land and respect their wishes.
Richard Bangs . There are two types of aboriginal people 1. They don’t care one bit about anything. 2. They hate all non aboriginals & want “the white man” out of Aus.
If anybody watching this wants to give these indigenous people the upmost respect then I strongly suggest that you don’t come to Australia.
Seems like a bit of a generalization. Thanks for your comments though...it's definitely important to also keep in mind the potential tourism has to positively impact the people who live there. It's just about finding that balance.
Best experience in Uluru with motorcycle tours
Can I fly my drone over the top of Ayres Rock ?
I spent a week in the red center exploring on one Oz trip,
Obviously the visit to the rock was the highlight and I've wanted to visit since a child and since a child I knew the history,
Not as much as I know now but enough to decide even then I wouldn't climb the rock for obvious reasons,
I did so much during that week,
Each night I slept under the stars in a swag and walked for miles,
(This was part of a year long trip around Oz & NZ)
When it came to the rock I did the base walk and it's so beautiful,
The people who climb and don't do the base walk are missing out on the beauty of Uluru,
It's just as stunning the side you don't often see in pics etc.
good on you!
Good on you :)
Don't aboriginal people not like their image being taken because of their beliefs? Therefore, how did you get footage of them?
Wow! Great video! It's rare that people show respect for boundaries, culture as well as tradition and still find way to enjoy what is still rich beyond climbing Ayer's. God bless!
agree, Jean! It's so important to be aware of these sacred traditions when we travel.
You mean Uluru
👍👍😍
Can I use ur message in my video blog pls?
+Aron Aronite Would love to chat with you about it! Shoot me a message at: richardbangs@msn.com
thanks.I will write to you.
Climb the rock, aboriginal people do not own it. The rock formed by itself millions of years before aboriginal people and they just found it. Please respect all aboriginal art and never touch or damage it.
Climb and respect the rocks.
Nah, people should experience the thrill of climbing the rock. But they can do what ever it was that you suggested as well.
it is about being selfless and respecting the wishes of the people whove lived around there thousands of years and consider it a spiritual and sacred place. not for own selfish gain. however I agree that people are entitled to whatever. so...you are entitled to be emphathetic, compassionate and respectful, or...the other way round. they did a lovely thing by making it open to everyone, but all they ask is that no one climbs a place that binds them with the earth
