"The Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park board of management has announced that tourists will be banned from climbing Uluru from 2019. The climb has always been discouraged by the park’s Traditional Owners (the Anangu people) but a number of tourists continued to climb the rock on a daily basis. Below, in English and Indigenous language, Sammy Wilson, chairman of the park board, explains why his people have decided to ban the climb outright." There's a grotesque CBS video of westerners lining up to climb the mountain on the last day. The degree of ignorance among the tourists is astonishing - they see it as their last chance to tread on a sacred site, like it's a bucket list objective. Meanwhile aerial photography of the land shows a line of tourists hanging on to a giant chain - a literal chain - that stretches to the summit.
