Please tell me it isnt so !

Sound's like a lot of s++t to me.

Gday Handy,
As you know, some people crap in the mall, next to the post office, up against your fence, on the foot path....any where they want? Why would the odd "poo on Ularu" bother anyone?
Like you say its just someone looking for a reason to close it.
Ive never heard of it being an common thing anyway..............

Cheers

****Ayres Rock. where, what is it?

Do you mean Ayers Rock?

I've never heard of Ayres Rock....

LOL... yeah Ive been caught before with that spelling!

Must have the same problem as senator Fielding....

A Y E R S Rock...

Me fail english, unpossible

money

Yes it's amazing how many places cease to be sacred when money is involved.

Wouldnt it be nice to be greeted at the entrance of the park by Aboriginal park people? Why isnt it run by the people that claim its theirs.. Plenty of unenployed Aboriginals out there just busting to have a full time job, but its run by others!! Just a thought.. Michael

Geeez

Imagine what the park would look like then, only got to look at the condition of some of the community's.

Image Could Not Be FoundG'day DW, and all fellow ExplorOz forum readers, I am not aware of the Ayres Rock happenings, but believe me this " Secret mens and womans " business is also a major eyesore and a possible health issue at most of the remote waterholes and gorges, throughout the Eastern Pilbara.

It staggers me to think that most people who venture out to these more remote places actually plan the journey down to the finest detail, so they can have a trouble free ~ enjoyable experience and then they crap all over the place.

I am at times totally embarrassed and feel quite ashamed at having to explain to my tour guests that people who do their " business " in the bush can be and are so obviously filthy, in their personal toilet behaviour and then think no one else will possibly see their crap laying on the ground.

The very sad thing is that these utter swines may well live next door to you and possibly work along side of you, then tell you what a great holiday they had and what beaut places they visited on their holiday, I can bet they won't say a bloody word about the pile(s) of crap and paper amongst other cosumables they left behind, for others to contend with !!

Only last Friday, 4/9/09 at Kalgan Pool which is situated East of Newman, a group of interstate registered vehicles (4) were spread out in the gorge around the waterhole, an idyllic scene at first sight, but where's the mine field I thought, you can all now see for youselves !!!!!!!!!

The filthy pigs ~ men, women and kids + 2 dogs.

I'm not a religious bloke, but I said a slient prayer for rains of "Biblical" proportions to flush the whole place out ~ would have been a real shame about the two dogs though.

Yeah, right on Joe, it's not just people from the "communities" that leave their crap lying about the place for others to clean up

Cheers ob

Agreed Joe
I spent quite sometime when out at the Calvert Ranges recently picking up toilet paper floating around the place with a shovel and burning it.

Its only a matter of time before the traditional owners see it and get sick of this behaviour and stop issuing permits.

G'day everyone

Yes, it is a frustrating thing indeed, there is not a person amongst us that does not heed the call of nature, when we are out in the bush, but it's not an urge that springs into one's bowel in a split second, so there is time to do your business thoughtfully ~ I would think, then surely there would be time enough after the event to bury the evidence, maybe not on top of Ayres Rock or Mount Augustus or in the Karijini Gorges.

I once sprung a German tourist deep in Kalamina Gorge, on a windy day hiding his " Bush bannana " under a slab of slate, the crap paper flapping in the breeze gave the mongrels secret away, so I gave him my thoughts, in English, Australian and German. The pig of a man turns out to be a Physician of all things. Oh, if you are curious as to how I know the "Kalamina Crapper" is a Physician, I took an image of his bright red face ( just his face ) and threatened to release it to the World on the Web, no I did not ~ but maybe the next bugger that craps in my back yard thoughtlessly might just appear on "Poo tube"

Member - John (Vic), if you don't already have it, grab a copy of 4x4 Australia and read Ron Moon's words in his "Footloose" column on page 141.
October 2009 #309 edition.

The article also appears in the latest edition of the Western 4WDriver magazine on page 128. in the 72nd edition.

These actions by fellow 4Wdrivers ~ adventures may well be the thin end of a large wedge regarding our outback travel destinations.

Seriously ~ we the outback traveller - adventurer are doing it to ourselves by not thinking before acting !!
If we are not careful these iconic destinations will be lost to us and then the Government(s) will hand it over to the mining companies and it's then lost to the World.Image Could Not Be FoundImage Could Not Be Found

Once it was a beautiful watercourse, soon it just won't be at all !!!!!!!

This could be an opportunity for you young fella.

‘Hairy’s Bush Bogs’.

You could have a special, each pay day....Only $50 per bog. Bring your own piece of bark!

LOL

Hahahahaha...........
I was thinking more like a golf club and just flicking all the turds down to Mititjulu.....It would blend into the back ground there. LOL

Warfer 69, it wasn't a reporter who wrote about people defacating on Uluru. The statement was made by Andrew Simpson who is the general manager of Anangu Tours which operates a range of tours in the vicinity of Uluru.

The company's URL is www.ananguwaai.com.au where there are contact details so you can take the matter up with Andrew. I think you will find him a very helpful bloke.

Thanks Kurd i will shoot him an email..

What proof do you need. fab72 just admitted he defaced it. Also others in this thread think its funny and no doubt think its okay.

Phil

Hiya Phil

From what i read a lot thinks its rubbish, a beat up to close walking up it,I do not get the feeling they think its ok to poo on it...


Urination is a bit different from faeces dont you think ???????.I do not believe the occasional pee will make any diff although to keep human waste to the toilet is of course a no brainer..

Neither are okay. If what you say is true then there mustn't be anything wrong with doing it on the footpath in Sydney.

Nope I saw heaps of that back in Vietnam. They used to just squat in the gutter in the middle of Saigon. And the place stank of both #1 and #2.

Is this where we are heading.

If I can plan and wait then why can't others. It just shows that they do not give a damn about privacy and cleanliness. I wonder what they wash their hands in. Hmmm. No taps up there. Great image for the tourists to take home. I imagine they can tell their friend how "unclean" and disgraceful we are. And I don't want to be associated with that reputation.

Nope Nothing.

Just one question, if its so disgusting to you to have a No1 on Ayres Rock, I truly hope you have never done one anywhere in the outback, as places such as parts of Goog's, Canning, Anne Beadell etc... all have Indiginous Land that is just as sacred as Uluru, just to a different group of people.

I agree with Warfer 69 Urination is a bit different from faeces on a place like Uluru, a bit hard to bury it there.

Well go right ahead. And make sure everyone sees you as well.

Come on now. A little training and forethought covers public places such places as Uluru.

Of course I have used a tree but not in full sight of the public. And that's what you are proposing as perfectly acceptable.

Have I got this wrong?

I dont seem to recall myself saying or writting anything about flashing people, or doing it full view of anyone, never have and never will.

I'm probably to ashamed. LOL

Mitsi

Rest assured it wasn't you. I did not say it was you. fab something or other said he had.

Anyway I think we have put enough time on this one. Some people have some disgusting habits and do not jive one rats if they offend others. It's the respect for other peoples feelings etc that is missing. Thank heavens they are in the minority. We carry a chemical toilet with us for those very remote places when we camp that do not have facilities. Its so easy to plan for.

Have a good day.

Phil

Geez Phil, get down off that high horse. I too have taken a pee on the top of the rock because I was caught short. There are plenty of culverts away from the main areas to do this out of sight, which I did.

I have no problem peeing discretly out bush and neither should anyone. We are afterall no different to other mammals that have to go. I certainly dont advocate leaving sh*t and toilet paper lying around, that is wrong.

Definitely more environmentally friendly than a chemical toilet.

Another one!

Observant. I take it you dont have anything against my actions then??
