Tourists to scale sacred rock for final time
Huge crowds are expected to scramble up Australia’s Uluru on Friday before a ban on the climb takes effect.
The giant monolith – formerly known as Ayers Rock – will be permanently off limits to visitors from Saturday.
Uluru is sacred to its indigenous custodians, the Anangu people, who have long implored tourists not to climb.
