SACRED SHITE



Uluru being 'used as a toilet'

Tourists are defecating on the top of Uluru. It's a sacred site and one of Australia's natural wonders but Andrew Simpson, general manager of the Anangu Waai tour company, says that isn't stopping people from using it as a toilet.
"That's been going on for years," he said. "When people climb up the top of the rock there's no toilet facilities up there. They get out of sight ... (and) most of them have a toilet roll tucked away. They're shitting on a sacred site."
Mr Simpson claims come as the Federal Government considers whether to ban people climbing the 348m-high rock, which is sacred to local Aborigines.
The Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park called for an end to people making the arduous trek up the monolith
earlier this year, citing cultural, environmental and safety concerns.
