Australia: Anangu People Get Another Reason to Prohibit Climbing of Uluru

Aboriginal owners of Uluru (Ayers Rock) and the land around it have another reason to demand that visitors be prohibited from climbing the famous sandstone formation: a French woman did a striptease down to her boots, bikini bottoms and cowboy hat because she wanted to see the site “in a way I’m going to remember.” Her performance was caught, naturally, on video by a friend for all the world to see. The rock is sacred territory to the Anangu people and for years they have asked tourists to admire and respect it from a distance but to refrain from climbing it. Last year the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park board of management recommended climbing be stopped, but tour operators complained and the rock remains open for the foreseeable future.
