From next year tourists will not be allowed to climb Uluru in the Australian outback

Regionen: 

From next year tourists will not be allowed to climb Uluru in the Australian outback. In a historic vote last year the Uluru-Kata Tjuta board of 12 people - including 8 Anangu Elders - decided to end the climb. This follows years of campaigning by the owners of the site, the Anangu Aborigines.

The Anangu date their origins back 60,000 years and claim a deep and ancient link between the rock and their spirituality.

'Climbing has violated that,’ they say; ‘it's like tourists clambering over temples or sacred remains.’

For them the rock has played a big part in their ceremonies and rites of passage.
