To respond to the sensitivities of the aboriginal population at Uluru, let’s seek ways to reduce the demand for the “climb the rock” experience.
Google Earth has significantly enhanced the quality of it’s 3D imagery of the rock over the last year or so. Panadia provides a fragmented virtual tour around the base, but omites the crucial climb. Why not use some of the funds already collected from tourists to further improve a virtual experience of the rock as an alternative ?
A library of high quality 3D panoramas linked together could allow tourists to explore the rock “virtually” at their own pace and by any path. Depending on how generous the custodians feel, such an experience could be shared with the world over the internet, or restricted to a theatre at the rock itself.
Let’s not make restrictive laws the first response to every issue.
