Etiquette Tips

Don’t climb Uluru

Uluru is an important cultural symbol to the Anangu Aboriginal people. For thousands of years before European settlers arrived to Australia, the Anangu people made their home around Ayers Rock. The monolith was, and still is, used as an important place for cultural ceremonies. While climbing Ayers Rock is technically still allowed, the Aboriginal landowners request that visitors don’t climb it after their Alice Springs to Ayers Rock flights. Climbing the Uluru is viewed as disrespectful and can also be extremely dangerous. If you book Alice Springs to Ayers Rock return flights after 26 October 2019, climbing Uluru will no longer be an option as it will be closed for both safety and cultural reasons.

Don’t take any sand or rocks from Uluru
