Australia asks Google to block users 'walking' sacred site
Parks Australia, which is responsible for the national park where Uluru is located, said Google images contains photographs of the sacred site, which effectively defies the ban.
The Anangu people, the traditional owners of Uluru, have called for the climb to be closed since 1985, when the park was placed in indigenous hands, due to its spiritual significance as a route their ancestors took.
Google did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Reuters, but a spokesman told local media the company has removed the images.
