With respect for just who *owns* Uluru, it was released to the representives of the Aboriginal fraternity that had considered it to be their sacred place. I have no quarm with that. But it is also a commercial venture, particularly for the tourist industry. As an Australian citizen, it also belongs to me, and I claim a right to respect that mountain as I see fit, and given your comments, I wonder what your agenda really is.
The sign gives all the option of climbing, but there is no manditory great wall to actually prevent any climb. It is a tourist venture, aided and abetted by the local Aboriginal Authorities, who also benifit from the tourists who flock to Uluru, which is also a great Australian icon in its own right. I wonder just what is your agenda, Chadhead, to pick up my comment after 6 months, and criticise in such a manner.
Climbing on Uluru for your own self righteous little wank is wrong in the eyes of the Anangu, the traditional owners. If you want to tromp around on 60,000 plus years of culture and sanctity that's your right as an Australian. No one is going to arrest you for it. It's just lame and naive.
It is the most sacred of sacred sites and you carry on like it's a theme park.
With respect to the locals who also have respect for Uluru, I too have respect for the place, only different. I have climbed it, and as many Aboriginals for thousands of years also climbed it, maybe as I did, to get to the top. And that sign in the carpark gives all the option of climbing, not dire consequences if one does. Uluru belongs to all.
no one charges you to get into your church 25US$. sorry, but this rock in the desert is for me one of the biggest bussiness in Australia, it has nothing to do anymore with a holy place. That's not just my opinion, but a lot of people think so.
You are a naive prick and I feel sorry for you. How would you like it if Australians come to Roma and climb on the alter in San Pietro? Shame on you for being so stupid.
Why did u go up Uluru? Didn't u know that is a Holy place for aborigin people? Didn't u see the sign in the carpark? Do u'll feel happy if i'll climb your church to take some pictures? And like u is full of guys that don't care about it.. i don't undestand why nobody care..

Climbing the Rock is only showing your ignorant attitude to a culture who has asked not forced you, to not climb something so sacred to them at heart.
No body "Owns" the rock. it is sacred and should be kept as is.

How proud you must be to have reached the top. What a wonderful view of spinifex, sand and little else.

Why dont you go to the northern hemisphere or NZ and climb a rock where you need more than a bottle of water and an ego to get to the top.

you're an idiot. That sign is clear. If you have any respect for the owners you dont climb.
