Uluru is the world’s second largest sandstone rock. It is 348 meters high, 3.6 kilometers long and nearly 2 kilometers wide. It is believed that the rock has been there for 600 million years. The Aborigines(澳大利亚土著居民)began living in the area 10,000 years ago.
Many tourists can’t help climbing Uluru when they see it. But climbing it is not a good idea because it’s very dangerous, especially after rainfall. Over 30 climbers have died since the 1950s. For many years, the Aborigines have wanted to stop anyone from climbing Uluru. For them it is a very important place, not a playground. The rock is believed to show Aboriginal spirits. The Aborigines are very happy to see people from all over the world come to look at Uluru. But they do not want them to climb it. Visitors are supposed to learn more about the Aborigines and their culture.
After the UNESCO(联合国教科文组织)handed the land to the Aborigines, they have discussed whether to close Uluru to visitors for many years. Now it is decided that from October 2019, visitors can’t climb Uluru, but only look at it.
But what about the effect(效果)of the new rule? Only time will tell.
