The Ban on Climbing Ayers Rock is Immoral and Illegal Quadrant Magazine have placed my recent article online outlining reasons the ban on climbing Ayers Rock is immoral and illegal. Claims that Aborigines never ascend the monolith are false and the highly sacred nature of the route a recent invention. The cultural-heritage significance of the climb to both Anangu and millions of non-Aboriginal visitors is something that should be celebrated and maintained, not discouraged and condemned . Read the Article at Quadrant. “In the realm of ideas there has been no better publication in Australia over the last fifty years than Quadrant magazine.” — Former Prime Minister John Howard
Our mountains belong to all of us. The Right to Climb them and bask in their views that inspire awe and wonder is as old as the human genome. This long-established cultural tradition is under threat by a small group of bureaucrats determined to impose their way on the rest of the world. It is right to Climb because we have the Right to climb. If you don’t exercise your rights you lose them. Don't let petty nanny state bureaucrats take them away.
