It's amazing- the issue should be simple- what do the LOCALS think?

If THEY say they don't want people to climb it, then respect it- if they say they don't care, then its all good. So long as we can be certain that no outside bodies are forcing this hand, that's all it should be.

I really don't get why this issue needs to be any more complicated than that.
Or, for that matter, what some posters THINK the motion is coming from- because if we simply followed this principal, those factors wouldn't matter anyway.

(of course, it leaves out a lot of nonsense grounds to justify various attitudes expressed here).

Stripping is stripping...this girl was dressed in a bikini and cowboy boots which would have made a fantastic tourism feature page for both the girl and Australia. The Rock belongs to every Australian and enjoyed by visitors who may wish to dance or dress in a bikini enjoying the exhilarating experience. Half her luck getting there from overseas when I have been waiting for the opportunity to travel around the Northern Territory camping and fishing LOL

'Interesting.
Im off to dance around naked on the roof of the local church.
Whats the difference?'

Why not do it for the environment along with the many other earth worshipers who feel the need?

The analogy with church's misses the churches long term hang up's about the human body. Others might have a better understanding of this but as far as I'm aware indigenous cultures tend not to share those hang up's so a bikini is hardly likely to outrage on it's own.

Maybe down to the cathedral and sing a rock song.

If the suggestion that Parks Australia and others are using the pretense of traditional owners wishes to push their own agenda's without a clear understanding of the traditional owners wishes then that where the real offense lies.

At least stripping is "secret woman's business" with foundation in fact - not deception.
Amazing how politically correct words like "sacred" shuts down cranial neurons.
What next - pretending indigenous art isn't a scam?
