At the base of Uluru are signs in seven languages asking people to reconsider climbing the landmark, once known as Ayers Rock.
The signs briefly outline the beliefs of the Anangu — the indigenous, traditional owners of Uluru and its surrounding lands — who see the rock as a sacred space, roughly equivalent to a church or temple.
Numerous safety warnings reminding people to stay hydrated in the desert sun and keep on the well-worn track to the nearly 350-meter-high summit are also posted in a range of languages.
