re: planning a trip to Australia

When I went, I had planned on climbing it. The natives don't like people climbing it, but my feeling was if I'm paying all this money then I'm gonna climb it if I want to climb it. Once I got there, seeing how amazing this thing is, I didn't feel the need to. I was able to just stand there and appreciate it for what it was. This is sacred ground to the Aborigines. In their culture, they don't tell others what they can and cannot do. But they ask people not to climb it.
