It's interesting to note that other aboriginal groups in the vicinity have no issues with non members of their group accessing other sacred areas, where they themselves are not permitted, such as regions of Katherine Gorge. I think there is a bit of double standards running personally, they are happy to take the revenue when they can get it, but with Uluru they think everyone will still enter the park and pay if they don't have access to the rock. The aboriginal ranges were quite shocked with my sister and her family when they turned the car around at the gate and didn't enter the park after they were informed that high winds had closed the rock that day. The previous day they had helicopted over it, so they had already seen it.
