It’s just on two years since the final day
’Our big girl’ and son in law were there recently, and mentioned that
“All is peaceful and quiet now”
It was not always like that
Permanent closure of Uluru (Ayers Rock) took place on October 26, 2019

I am glad that it is quiet now – though I suspect the pandemic is a lot of the reason for that.

What I meant was that even though people can no longer climb it, it is still a tourist attraction.

A good thing in my opinion. There are many sacred sites in the world to respect and not climb over and this is one more.

I bet the native people are extremely happy to finally have peace and quiet on their sacred rock.
It reminds me of Stonehenge. You can still visit but have to gaze from afar.

I guess a place can be loved to death. Good work fencing it off.

It was more for cultural reasons – returning country (land) to local peoples. They claimed it was a sacred site and set a time limit before it (letting ‘tourists’ climb to the top) was to be prohibited….that day came two years ago.

I can see how all the tourists were making an impact climbing the rock. Sandstone can be so fragile. where I live some tourist attractions needed to require reservations to keep control of the crowds.
