Thousands of people climb Ayers Rock, "Uluru", in Australia, every year.?

Question

I thought the Aborigal people did not like that. I want to know if I'm offending Aboriginal culture by climbing Ayers Rock.

Answer 1

My daughter went there on an exchange program. It is true that the Aboriginal people do not like it. Its kind of a place of worship for them. The group she was with, hiked around it, not on it. Unfortunately people do not respect their culture and climb it.

Answer 2

I thought rock was dead in the Eighties, I hated Hair Bands and Punk and Disco. The 90s proved me wrong when I heard Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots and Sound Garden. It seems like rock might be dying again now that those bands are gone but it just depends on what you like. It you don't like the new stuff at the time then it will seem like rock is dying. Of course music has to change or we would all be sick of the same old thing. It is harder these days to be a supergroup because nobody can match record sales of the past. People these days just download the music they want. Alot of the time it is just one song and not the whole album. In the 70s I would buy an album not for one song but for all of them. Also for the cover art of the album and what it had to say. Younger people today don't have the feeling of owning an actual physical collection. They just put music into a computer and thats it. Rock will never die because there will always be that young musician out there that is good enough to come up with something new but use the influences of the past to do something like Kurt Cobain did.

Answer 3

I would think there would be a web site for Ayers Rock, Uluru. Maybe with the Australian Park Service? And it should also tell you what you could and could not do.

So, repeat after me please....
Google is your friend. (joke)

Answer 4

should always ask permission before doing actions which might offend the Belief Systems of Ancient Cultures. If one wants their Belief System respected then one should respect other Belief Systems in return.

Answer 5

If they dont want you to climb it they will let you know...they own it now and they decide who, how and when people can climb it.
