Tourists Toilet

Thousands of tourists from all over the world climb Australia’s Ayres Rock every year.

But is seems that, once atop of the Northern Territory monolith, visitors are taking more than photographs.

Tour guides have accused some tourists of using the rock, which is considered to be a sacred site to local aborigines, “as a toilet”.

Andrew Simpson, general manager of the Aboriginal-owned Anangu Waai tour company, said tourists had been defecating on the rock.

“That’s been going on for years,” he told the Northern Territory News.

“When people climb up the top of the rock there’s no toilet facilities up there.”

The climb takes at least half a hour each way, but Mr Simpson said no matter how desperate climbers were, it was not acceptable to use the rock as a lavatory.

Ayres Rock, or Uluru, is sacred for the local Anangu people, to whom the land was handed back in 1985.

“They get out of sight ... (and) most of them have a toilet roll tucked away,” he claimed.

“They’re ******** on a sacred site.”

The allegations of misuse could increase the chances of the rock closed to climbers.

Mr Simpson’s claims were made in a submission on the draft Uluru-Kata Tjuta national park management plan, which includes a proposal to ban climbing on the 348-metre-high rock.

The Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park called for an end to people making the arduous trek up the monolith earlier this year, citing cultural, environmental and safety concerns.

It sparked immediate debate over the future of the climb, which is seen by many as a drawcard for the 350,000 tourists who visit the rock each year.

Submissions on the plan closed last Friday. Peter Garrett, the environment minister, will consider more than 150 of them before making a decision next year.

Kevin Rudd, the prime minister, has said he believed the climb should not be closed.

They're shítting on a sacred site :pac:

If more people took a dump in that place maybe they could grow some trees so the place wouldn't look so barren. From poo comes life.

When I was there our guide told us not to climb the rock anyway as the aboriginal people find it very insulting we would do so.
Instead I walked around it,took bloody ages

I suppose if the Aboriginals start getting hit with flying bags of poo from above they might not have such a problem with people leaving it on top of the rock.

When I climbed it in 2002, I had a doz. VB cans with me.

Got a bit of a "tug" just short of the summit ridge,so slipped behind a outcrop, opened the can, drank it, then opened the top with my can opener.

Jammed it tight to the badge and blew out the lot.

Nice and neat into a crack in the rocks and no spirits disturbed.

I bet that before you arrived there, Ayers Rock was no bigger than the holy stone of Clonrichert.

True, but that might be down to practicality.

Certainly, the basilica has been defaced in other ways ...

That one didn't stay secret very long.

Completely down to practicality, it's just not really doable. You can poop all over the inside of it though.

At least it is better than doing a poo at Pauls house.
