The climb was closed permanently at 4pm ACST and any remaining visitors on the rock are allowed to stay until sunset. They’re the last people allowed on the rock. From this point on it’s now illegal and anyone who tries can be fined up to $10,000 for disrespecting the culturally significant site of the Anangu people.
Finally. In recent months the news that the site will be closed out of respect to the Aboriginal people a bunch of tourists thought “oh good, a last minute opportunity to disrespect that” and have inundated the area with illegal camping, trash, and property damage. Over the years many people have taken chunks off Uluru as souvenirs.
Now tourists can focus on immersing themselves in the cultural activities in the park and learning about the people of the area. Plus: from a distance you can get the iconic image of Uluru that has been seen the world over.
