Uluru is a sacred Aboriginal site.
A tourist on holiday in Australia has angered Aborigines by stripping off on the top of Uluru, a sacred Aboriginal site.
The French woman was holidaying in Australia when she visited Uluru, formerly Ayres Rock, a popular tourist attraction. Climbing the rock is permitted although discouraged by Aboriginal people. Once at the top the woman performed a striptease routine, finishing in a white bikini and white high-heeled boots topped off with a bushman hat.
The woman was filmed performing the stunt and the film then appeared on the Sunday Territorian newspaper website.
Uluru is regarded as a sacred site by Aboriginal people who believe that it is a home for their ancestral spirits. It is also a hugely popular tourist attraction and whilst climbing the rock is frowned upon, it is not yet banned although there have been proposals put forward to that extent. Just recently a huge walkway was erected around the site to encourage visitors to appreciate the World Heritage site from a distance.
The striptease has so angered the Aboriginal people who own the site that they have called for the woman’s deportation back to France. Bizarrely the woman in question is reported to have said that she did the striptease as a tribute to how the Aboriginal people live naked. Which of course, is plain rubbish.
Northern Territory Police have been informed but say that unless an official complaint is made there is little they can do. The woman has not broken any laws.
