You have ten minutes to set foot on the rock before you'll be fined for doing so.

Uluru isn't the only place where tourists are asked to respect Indigenous cultural history
First time I went to the rock was 1997 with a busload of bible folk taking international students for a two week flyabout The Territory. I declined to walk on Uluru and was told in no uncertain terms that "we do not hold a physical object sacred because we only care about sunny lord jesus". I still declined, and I told the international people why = this is sacred place for Pityintjatjatjarra people and many other clans besides. Some international people took my meaning and walked the base with me. Others went on their tourist thing. That bible crew let me come on the same trip the following year and I again declined to disrespect this far-more-ancient culture than that cult of yahweh. I physically wrestled the leader of the cult at Tea Tree and he couldn't get me down on the ground. We shook hands and that was the last time I had anything to do with the bible crew.

I hate to bear bad news, but the macro-meteorological outlook isn't optimistic ...

Thanks for the H/U EG - hopefully, the reach of the Vortex and it's periphery won't travel too far North. And hopefully, it won't disturb our usual Christmas rains.
This is the result of the 2002 event. http://www.atmosp.physics.utoronto.ca/SPARC/News20/20_Baldwin.html
And if it does effect us to a degree...maybe our furious/glorious Leader shall get some hurry up about turning the Easter coastal rivers inland.

The east coast is burning up and people are dying. @Mungoman and others points south take care.
