[TheAuzzieKid]

oh my god a giant rock! I can't believe what I'm seeing, it's a rock and it's giant!

[thompsoon3]

@TheAuzzieKid It's taller then the q1 building

[ThePBtommy]

Probably the most beautiful natural site I've ever witnessed. I went there in 2005 and the view from the top was amazing

[taylorsfavefan13]

it would have been better with didgeridoo music. It was a good video, but I think it would have been better with the didge

[blackandredmagic]

If you are going to visit Australia, you have to see Uluru. But please, respect the traditional Aboriginal owners of the land and DON'T CLIMB IT!

[abcabc375]

Beautiful

[cronicd21]

Got home today, it is HUGE!!!

[Inmateshardstyle]

I don't see why one would climb Uluru in the first place. You go there to see Uluru, if you climb on it you can't see shit of it anymore. And yes respect the Aboriginee.

[arpionatore]

Amazing ,thanks.

[blunklaura]

WOW --gorgeous !

[emzie66]

out of all the places i have visited in my life time, ayers rock is the only place i want to come back to........

[cpCocaCola102]

1:01 - Wow cool!

[GenericGene]

Awesome -

[IagoIake1]

I wish I were an Aussie but America has the worlds best beer and the nukes. We also invented hamburgers, hot dogs, crossword puzzles, jet engines, television, the compass, gunpowder, paper money and even toilet paper. WE ROCK!!

[sciron60]

@IagoIake1 Mate - if you think America has the worlds best beer, you need a serious trip down under. And I think the Chinese might want to discuss gunpowder with you too. But come on down - our beer is best by a country mile.

[roxieleaman]

@IagoIake1 Gunpowder, the compass and toilet paper were used in ancient China around the Tang dynasty. Dr Frank Whittle (English) and Hans von Ohain (German) are credited with the invention of the jet engine. Farnsworth drew upon pre-existing designs for TV that were made by contributions of many nations.Beer, hamburgers and hotdogs I'll leave to individual interpretaion. Bragging about nukes? So far there hasn't been one good effect on the world from weapons of mass destruction.

[Troobudd]

@IagoIake1 actually most of americas inventions were imported by german immigrants. germans invented the hamburger, the hot dog, jet engines were invented by nazi scientists, television probably too. oh and most of your most popular beers were started by german immigrants too. :pp

[TubeostLove]

Uluru was one time a very sacred place for the Aboriginal people before the English people came to Australia. Uluru is no longer a sacred place, it's a tourist attraction. And it's very sad.

[libra0sydney]

@Clownpwnage17@lagolake1@Empir­eLS56KW being a decendant frm a convict doesnt possibly mean that their children would be criminals..a person ffrm a noble family can b criminal sometime n a person frm a criminal father can b a saint..there s no such thing as CRIME GENE, so why dont u stop talking abt that convict business n spread some love..I M NOT AN AUSSIE BUT I DONT LIKE PEOPLE SAYING THAT AUSSIES R FRM CONVICTS..also i dont like aussies to hate other races..peace

[dasaadz]

ammaaazziinngggggg :)



[EmpireLS56KW]

Looking at map of ( Ayers Rock) if it was just a few more hundred miles northwest it would be right smack in the middle of Australia. It’s a remarkable land formation of natural colour and scale.

[chride87]

wierdest rock on earth

[philinator71]

i've climbed ayer rock !!!!and it was worth it because u can see the beautiful landscape must more!!!

[lagolake1]

lol. 95% of australia is useless fucking desert. 95% of its population are the descendents of Englands convicts, scum and other eurotrash

[ausdrew]

@lagolake1 USA was the first convict colony

[lagolake1]

@ausdrew True enough. But the majority of Australias population are the descendents of convicts.

[Clownpwnage17]

@lagolake1 Less than 20% of Australian's are decendents from convicts. How could a few thousand convicts populate the 20 or so million aussies we have now?

[EmpireLS56KW]

@Clownpwnage17 That was back around the time, when, Australia was transportation for prisons and used as a penal colony.

Talk about being marooned (exile) from normal civilization. Bugger!

[992Pyro]

Its actually less then 7% now, 75% of our population today are immigrants or decandents from immigrants past 1945.

[992Pyro]

@lagolake1

You are a stupid fuck, 93% of the population has no connection to convicts , our population double from 7.5 million to 15 million in just a few decades due to immigration from Europe, Asia and the Middle East after World War 2. You really are a stupid fuck.

[lagolake1]

@992Pyro lol, whatever, shit drip. you dont even know your own history but what do I care what aussies think or say anyway?

[lagolake1]

@992Pyro lol, whatever koala boy. i dont care enough about australia to even continue bothering to comment.

[DracoSCREENINGS]

@lagolake1 You don't have to care about Australia, but that just means you don't see how beautiful and unique the places in Australia are. Uluru is a sacred site and doesn't deserve these comments on its video :D

[Iagolake1]

@DracoSCREENINGS

Australia Rocks, I wish I was Australian!

[lagolake1]

@DracoSCREENINGS lol, spare me the existential crap

[DracoSCREENINGS]

@992Pyro It doesnt matter about the population of who came or who lived here. what your seeing is what the true Australians own. Uluru the Sacred Heart of Australia... so don't freakin worry about the percentage of the population who aren't convicts. If you've ever listened to the song We Are One. it will explain the concepts of origins.

[ausdrew]

@ausdrew While, like the US, Australia was initially a penal colony, the population, also like the US, was then made up of mostly Europeans. The US even put out a sign "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. ...". Of course the US also brought in up to 10 million slaves.

[korgho5757]

@lagolake1 convicts were usually being sentenced for stealing a cucumber from a stall and other trivial matters. or, they were thrown in prison for loitering, no job.

[globalchick1]

I'm Australian and you should definitely climb Ayers rock. People who are discouraging it are motivated by political correctness. Ayers Rock belongs to ALL Australians not just Aborigines. All tourists should climb it as a matter of principle to take a personal stand against political correctness.

[outbacksun]

I love it

[wumaus]

@ australiasoutback: i have 1 question : maybe i will travel to australia and where is the hotel at 0:39 min.?can you send me a link or the website of this hotel? thanks

[StupidAng3l]

@wumaus Google "Longitude 131" and take the first website. There, you'll find a link at the bottom of the page showing a video clip of those luxury tents :)

[wumaus]

@StupidAng3l  thanks

[neogogo2]

Uluru=my birth place!!

[giltedged2]

Really?? You were born on Ayers Rock? Do you get midwives on standby there?

[Max5941]

Ayers rock is a lame, pathetic piece of crap. Who gives a shit about a stupid big rock? What a waste of time.

[ChristieMonteiro7]

Uluru --> Ayers Rock

in ♥Australia♥

[Scripp]

its a giant prehistoric ant mount by long extinct giant ants. Trust me I know.

[DuncanLafayette]

Uluru is just an exotic name for a fossil piece of excrement defecated by a massive dinosaur in the Jurassic period......the best thing about it?? It no longer stinks!! hahahahaha...

[iks3es]

anyone knows title of this music?

this is truly one amazing nature wonder it should be respected as there is only one such thing and there will never be another...

[chrisgudders]

oooo shut up u bloody moaners!!! i dont see the point in flying to the middle of austrailia just to lock at a big rock !!! jesus christ wake up u sad twats and climb the fukin thing

[NoogahOogah]

Okay guys, here is an un-biased opinion:

Park rangers and Aborigines alike frown upon the climbing of Uluru Rock. It's a dangerous activity, and considered tacky by many. Park rangers must rescue a person every few days. The Aborigines consider it sacred, and would prefer it not be climbed. However, they respect visitors urge to climb it, and there is a hiking rope. Really, hiking Uluru destroys the magic. It's much better simply to hike around the base. Thats what I read anyway.

[hippymonkey222]

You can't go climb on top of the Vatican, you can't go climb on top of the Buddhist temples and so on and so forth so who are we to say we can climb Uluru ? this is a sacred place just like the any church to a christian. the park was handed back in 1985 and thats when they asked tourist not to climb the rock,any one who decides to climb,well it speaks for it self what you are.". Walking around the base is the most RESPECTFUL method of experiencing the monolith, a word forgotten to some respect.

What a copy/paste opinion.. but to the point, the difference is that churches and things are Build to be sacred.

[Engineer9736]

Uluru is a rock which exists since the beginning of the earth. Some people, thousands of years ago, have Made it sacred in their culture. But there are more people on the earth than only them. I don't say that you don't have to respect that, but its still different from climbing a church.

[Engineer9736]

I've been standing on top of it by the way ;-).

It's nice to have the experience, but i must say, really DONT underestimate the climb. The rangers and aborigionals don't lie about that it's dangerous, it's like 45 degrees upwards in one long climb 'til you're 350 meters in the air. I had to rest like five times to get my heartbeat normal again.

Still, climbing it was only the fun part of being there.. it's also a very very nice place to walk around and just look at.

[wettaylor1958]

@Engineer9736 I climbed to the top of it and felt bad about it afterwards . BUT about an hour latter I was looking at it with my binoculars and some Aborigine children can up to me and asked me to let them use my binoculars. They got in line about seven of them and waited there turn to have a look. One of them had his look and got back in line to have a look again.If I ever go back I WILL NEVER STEP FOOT ON IT AGAIN. And I WOULD NEVER DRINK BEER ON THERE LAND. IF they can't no one should.

[giltedged2]

I got up there twice. Great. A beautiful rock , beautifully called Ayers Rock. I think you've got it wrong. There is no Australian Law prohibiting Aboriginal children  from getting on top and if they were frightened you should have encouraged them to get up there with you.

[giltedged2]

Ayers Rock isn't like the Vatican at all. There is nothing on it - no mud hut, no tin hut, no grass hut nothing. What made you compare it to the Vatican? It is just a gigantic, beautiful, often red, rock. And it's a great feeling when you get to the top.

Australian children should be encouraged to climb it. Beautiful and healthy.

[aerowayne1]

@giltedged2 Its not just a rock to the Aboriginals and it's there land they don't really what you to climb it . A lot of people have died climbing it. I climbed it and felt bad about afterward ,but I made my own peace with the Aboriginals. I would never climb it again or would I ever drink beer there again. If they can't no one should.

[sk8erboy1434]

actualy. aborginies do let us climb it but... there's an aboriginal organisation who owns the rock and can ban climbing it when ever. because natives reckon it hurts the rock.

There's a chain running up the side to climb it

[theonenonlysnk]

to get a feeling for the size of this thing, imagine it as almost being the height of the empire state (not incl. the mast)

[grogtgs]

How much does it cost to climb this rock?

[blekdood]

hey just a quick one .. is it true that ayers rock and the surrounding area was once under water .. hence, the rock ?

[LaydeeMarmalardy]

Would you be allowed to climb over the Vatican or the Mosque at Mecca? Or a Hindu, Sikh, Bhuddist Temple? Respect the Aborigines! This rock is THEIRS! Just be content with the privalidge of seeing it.

[tomwardle4forest]

I went there last summer and the brochure said that they only didn't want people climbing it because if someone tripped and died the aborigines would feel guilty and compared it to someone dying in your back garden

[grumpybob67]

Youre missing my point. My objection is to being lured there with the idea that I WOULD be allowed to climb it if I wanted to whereas the fact is climbing is effectively (though unofficially) banned. I just want the authorities to tell the truth. I want them to say Climbing Ulura is not permitted due to respect for cultural sensibilities. Tourist numbers will plummit but thats what you get for restricting peoples freedom of choice.

[afedorov78]

Well, I went to Uluru last Wednesday and many people were climbing. So, it is not closed all the time but summer months only due to extreme heat. Last year in May climbing was allowed as well. However, again, respect locals and don't climb. I went there 2 times and didn't climb. This rock is very special.

[afedorov78]

Respect locals, don't climb ULURU! Just see it and feel it. This rock is very unique and very important place for aborigines.

[giltedged2]

Actually I spoke to quite a few locals at the Alice. I think you should climb it unless you're infirm. Climbing Ayers Rock is indeed very enjoyable.

Ayers Rock is indeed very special . Climb it.

[Vinc3ntPh4m]

@giltedged2 Is there anything to see at the top?

[qsita]

@afedorov78 I agree. It's like touching things in a museum. There's no need to do it! 

[mrimpetious1983]

i live twenty minutes from it ,,its brilliant .....loads to do there

[Hallbergrussy]

it's a miracle

[CZechRaizor]

Amazing video

[snowflakeballerina]

I am 14 and i am going to Uluru with my family in three weeks. I told my friend that I am going there and she was like "why would you wanna go there for ;[" I just can't wait to go! it is going to be so amazing and to actually be there would be surreal. <3

[thedurdens]

the uluru is there for almost 80000 years,u can climb up there....but the aborigines dont like that..its like an insult to them..30 have died climbing..

[kukrka]

AWESOME!!!!Going there in November for 5 days and cant wait..

It has to breath taking experience
