Tourists potentially are getting fined for photographing Uluru. Ordered to delete photos.

"“There’s like 20 lines of fineable offences,” Britt says in a recent Instagram post, admitting the couple had not realised content creators needed a permit."

Interesting. Thousands and thousands of people visit this site, most with cameras. It is hard to believe these influencers' social media post was singled out to be fined. I visited Uluru a couple of months ago, camera in hand. We did use a professional guide, and he helped with what we could and could not photograph. But it could be easy to shoot something that is not allowed. Fortunately I'm not much of a social media poster.

A large rock that is pretty famous. I understand geology. August in the vast outdoors . Aussies have a lot of couontry to protect. If it needs protection. I think it does if you can find volunteers. There are hippies out there who would surprise you with their talent. Hippies being the usual country boy.
Since, I haven't been here for a while, here is a photo that I posted on the neighborhood. It's not as great as some of the other emidiate shots. A lucky photo that I have had in mind. and got lucky.
