Interesting Oxymorons and a winge

  • No you can't go on a hot air ballon ride over Uluru anymore as it's sacred but I can book you on a helicopter instead.
  • Yes you can take photos of Uluru except these two little areas here because they are more sacred than all the rest of it which you can't climb because it is sacred
  • No you can't stop on this 200 metre stretch of road but you can anywhere else. Why? And here I am waiting for the sacred bit of road argument, but the best we can come up with is that this piece of road gives the best distance shot of Uluru that you see from all professional shots and so you can't stop the car here because....
  • No you can't have a glass for your beer by the pool but no we won't decant it from the glass bottle it comes in, you can do that yourself by the pool into the plastic beaker provided.
  • This is only a gravel road for 150km then it becomes an unsealed road....yes and your point, it still feels like driving in a blender!
  • You must pay to visit Standley chasm because it is a sacred gap between two pieces of rock....

Why not just say, it's our land and you must pay!

  • This is the estimate for your vehicle hire on tininternet but the bill will really be$$$$$$$ because you have driven it so much in this desolate desert country where we have no public transport and why else would you hire a 4x4 from Alice but to travel to Uluru and yes we do have unlimited mileage if you hire in a city so if you had hired the 4x4 (without snorkel, winch or shovel) in Melbourne and driven it here we would have only charged you half the price. Oh yes and that is an additional tax we call isolated area tax to cover this being an isolated area !!And yes it is a percantage of the whole bill with additional extortiant mileage fee added on.
