.@firstdogonmoon explaining in @guardian why #Uluru is no Disneyland attraction and #indigenous requests to not climb the sacred site should be respected.

Also amazing opportunity to learn something about the #Anangu people‘s #Pitjantjatjara...

While I (somehow) understand a certain 'fear of missing out' behind the wish to climb #Uluru ("#AyersRock"), there are reasons #indigenous groups of the region, like the #Anangu, ask not to do so.

This is a deeply sacred site of ritual...

When we visited the amazing #Uluru, we did not climb. We walked around it. We did a guided tour with an #Anangu ranger. And it was wonderful. I don't feel any loss that I didn't climb the rock (which, quite frankly, looks quite dangerous).
