View On Black Gli aborigeni hanno richiesto più volte che i turisti non scalino la roccia, sia perché si tratta di un luogo sacro nella mitologia aborigena del dreamtime, sia per motivi di sicurezza. Nel 1983, il Primo Ministro australiano Bob Hawke promise che avrebbe vietato la scalata. Tuttavia, quando il governo australiano restituì la proprietà di Uluṟu agli Anangu (il 26 ottobre 1985), furono poste le due condizioni che per 99 anni Uluṟu fosse gestita congiuntamente con l'associazione nazionale "National Parks and Wildlife" e che durante questo periodo fosse concesso ai turisti di scalare la roccia. La scalata di Uluru è infatti un'attrazione turistica molto importante, e soprattutto molto apprezzata dai giapponesi, che costituiscono una percentuale significativa della popolazione di turisti in Australia. Sebbene nel 1964 sia stato posizionato sulla roccia un corrimano (esteso nel 1976), l'ascesa è ancora piuttosto pericolosa a causa delle superfici ripide e lisce, della fatica della scalata (che dura circa un'ora) e, almeno in alcune ore e stagioni, del rischio di insolazioni; l'attacco di cuore è fra le principali cause di morte.
Raw and Untouched Northern Territory Series by Lexa Harpell. Morning Mist Over Uluru by Lexa Harpell Uluru is probably the most photographed 'rock' and the most recognisable natural landmark in Australia. A World Heritage Listed site for its natural and cultural benefits to humanity. UNESCO. Named Ayes Rock by early explorers - the traditional landowners called it Uluru. We now have a dual name for this rock. This monolith sits almost in the middle of Australia in the Northern Territory - rising 1,142 feet above the desert floor - with a circumference of 9.4 km - measures 3.6 km long and 2.4 km wide. Another 2.5kms of the rock sits underground! It seemingly appears from the middle of nowhere, surrounded by flat desert floor. Kata Tjuta (another incredible rock formation) lies about 50kms from Uluru. 'Uluru is sacred to the Pitjantjatjara Anangu, the Aboriginal people of the area. The area around the formation is home to an abundance of springs, waterholes, rock caves and ancient paintings. Uluru is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Uluru and Kata Tjuta, also known as the Olgas, are the two major features of the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park'.* wikipedia... The fascination to 'the rock' is for the ever changing colours with the sun and weather. Only Only about 1% of visitor see rain on Uluru and when the rain stops, you only have about 15mins to see the 'waterfalls' cascading down the rock. - I was fortunate to arrive on an overcast, drizzling day - around 5.30pm it rained! Too late to photograph it, yet at least I saw it. The following morning low clouds of mist hung over the folds of the rock. The colours change from vivid orange to purple hues with in moments as the sun sets. I took the advantage of capturing the first light devoid of people. The surface oxidisation creates a bright orange appearance due to the high iron content in the rock. Originally, the 'rock' was formed with horizontal layers of fine sand around 600million years ago. During this period the earth folded creating 'mountains' - the sandstone layers now sit almost vertically. So it had been pushed on its side- of sorts.
