According to the ABC Parks Australia are increasing the entry fee at Ayers Rock by 52%! This despite 90% of the park now being inaccessible to tourists and a major reduction in the cost of management due to less Ranger time required to monitor our iconic climb. Uluru entry prices to rise as Parks Australia flags new fees with tourism operators The cost of entering Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park could rise by up to 52 per cent under proposed changes from Parks Australia. Just one week after the Uluru climb permanently closed, Parks Australia has informed tourism operators new park fees will come into effect from November 1, 2020. We are left to wonder with the Climb closed....Why would anyone now bother going?
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.
