Aboriginal people revere certain sites around Australia as sacred. Uluru (Ayers Rock) is one of them. It is a place of mysticism, a place from where much of their Aboriginal Dreaming emanates. It is a place where, they believe, the bodies of their ancestors hardened into rock. It was there at the Alcheringa (the Dawn of Time) and will be there until the very end. It holds peace and power. For the central Australian Aborigines, the Dreamtime stories come out of Uluru. They kindly ask that you don't climb the rock because you must walk over the dreamtime exit path.

To to put it into context, it would be comparable to people tramping over, or jumping and playing on the altars or sacred fittings in someone's church.

Why can't you climb Uluru?

You can, as of 2013. However, the Anangu people of Central Australia request that you respectfully do not climb Uluru. The landform is of spiritual significance to them. To put it simply, it is rather like when one does not want other people climbing all over the altar in their church.
