    Good memories of a time spent there 12 years back. A truly wonderful spiritual place. And no....I couldnt ignore those signs and climb but did walk around the base as local custodians suggested. Uluru does have power!

    John Williamson's presentation of the rock is just superb, an inspiration to anyone to visit this amazing sight. I just returned from my fourth visit to the rock, it is still as awesome as it ever was and it won't be my last trip. There is just one detail that bothers me, previously I did stay at the Mutitjulu Pub, nice place, a pool table, XXXX on the tap, cockroaches in the bed room, just beautiful, just Australian, very very beautiful. On this trip I had to stay in the "Outback Pioneer Hotel", terrible, the first question they asked me was "which country do you come from", ignorant as I am I said, Australia, this was obviously the wrong answer and it went downhills from there on. If you plan to visit the rock, stay at the "Curtain Springs Station", it is Australian and you will like it.

      I'm glad many people got to climb it before that nonsense came in where we are forced to believe in Aborginal stories, one being that it's disrespectful to climb a rock...lol Lets face it most aboriginals act more white in their ways than acting in their old ways, except for sitting around under trees of course; but they're well assimilated into white culture with their grog drinking, womanizing and punching or breaking something when they disagree or can't get their way.

    This is the spirit of ' Uluru statement' The Voice is the only and one - make us reconcile and go forward. I have winessed when Cathy Freeman won the 400 at the Sydney 2000 Olympics. We have another girl- called Ash Gardiner- I was accused as a match fixer, when I went to see her, at North Sydney Oval. Cricket Australia should apologise, other wise etc ...

    Love this song as I have been at Uluru when it was pouring rain
    I do prefer John Williamson and Warren Williams version though
    I am amazed that although traditional landholders have a huge sign saying
    we prefer that, as a guest on Aṉangu land, you will choose to respect our law, spirituality and culture by not climbing
    That you found it in your hearts to mount this sacred site
    thumbs down for this.
