Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park

Australia will Ban Climbing of the Uluru Sandstone Rock Formation

Climbing the Uluru rock formation, a popular tourist attraction in Australia, will be banned in 2019 because of its spiritual significance for a local Aboriginal community, DPA reported.

The ban will come into force on 29 October 2019. On that date in 1985 the land and the rock were returned to their traditional owners.
