Rock climbing

Traditional Aboriginal owners of Uluru (previously known as Ayers Rock) ask visitors not to climb the rock because of its spiritual significance. But tourists still do. But word from the Director of National Parks is that tourists will soon be banned from climbing Uluru - well, after 8am during January and February at least because of safety concerns from heat, wind and rain. Normal operating hours resume March 1 (30 minutes before sunrise until 30 minutes after sunset).
