Tellurometer connection from Ayers rock, NT From the X NATMAP website . A great archive of Australia's surveying history. Some wonderful footage of the 1969 Groundmarking for Aerodist field season. Note that there is no sound track. The summit cairn was replaced by the pedestal and bronze plaque a year later. The sign at the base of the rock caught our attention. It reads: NOTICE The public is hereby notified that the climbing of this rock is a difficult and dangerous feat and that this board accepts no responsibility for injury or loss of life to persons engaged in climbing the rock. Rescue gear is available at the curator's cottage. by order of the board. A Prose - Chairman.
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.
