Uluru (Ayers Rock) climbing ban
Climbing on Australia's iconic Uluru landmark will be banned from October 2019, local authorities have confirmed.
The board of the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park voted unanimously to end the climb over indigenous sensitivities.
The giant red monolith in the Northern Territory is a sacred site for Aboriginal Australians.
Traditional owners of the region have long asked visitors not to climb Uluru.
