To climb or not to climb? Visitors to Uluru will no longer face the decision after the walking track is closed on October 26, and arrangements have begun to remove the steel, paint and concrete from its surface.

I have a silver Duke of Edinburgh medal under my belt, a bit of Boys Brigade (is that even a thing these days.) When I was facing homelessness in the face and "went bush" I made sure to only pick places with good ABC coverage, that were within a five click walk of fresh water. Also, an EPIRB!

Perhaps airlines could play some sensible videos about how to deal with Oz, the last hour of screentime dedicated to, I dunno...paddle between the flags, don't pat a 'roo, remember water, don't swim North of Capricornia...

Unless you're an experienced bushy it's easy to fuck it up.

Easy to fuck it up right in the country you grew up on, some of the tourists don't have a chance!
