My guess, close it as no one wants to run it and very few want to visit it, if all they can do is photograph it.So what are the NT Govt and tourist industry doing about it?

Win Win the indegenous get the rock back, without all the work involving tourists.
The Govt doesnt have to excuse the fiasco and keep pouring in funds to support it.
Last but not least Qantas doesnt have to fly there.
It goes back to just another loss of income, but a reduction in welfare costs.
The wife walked around it and said it was really nice, also said she didn't see many on here way around.You can ride around the bottom of it on a bike apparently.

I'm pretty sure it was said on this forum at the time that if the single largest attraction in the area is shut then ultimately that'll be the end of it so far as tourism is concerned. The rest will cling on for a while but as visitor numbers drop, the rot will set in.From the article:
As Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park heads into its hot summer season and annual quieter tourism period, year-to-date visitor numbers are 164,678, compared with more than 300,000 in 2017.

Time to make Mt Augustus the national tourist attraction and its bigger than Ayres Rock.I'm pretty sure it was said on this forum at the time that if the single largest attraction in the area is shut then ultimately that'll be the end of it so far as tourism is concerned.

Add in the drama in Alice Springs and what reason is there for anyone to visit? Unless it's for work or they're just passing through on their way to somewhere else, why would anyone with no connections to the area go there?
There'd have to be a pretty compelling reason for tourists to visit somewhere they're at least suspicious they're not really welcome.

I was taking the kids up the rock, the wife went to the top once, but she wasn't game to do it again.Where were you?
Yes with 1100km of gravel, the important trick was to find where the flow through ventilation exit flaps are in the back of the car and cover them with masking tape so that the inside of the car pressurised or you ended up with a car full of red dust.That's impressive SP

They wanted the Rock back. They've now got that and oophs we didn't realise that the tourists wouldn't be interested in just looking at it from afar or just mosing around the perimeter.As per the crime reports recently, it seems a place to stay away from unless you want your valuables nicked.

Comical, if not expensive.
Some diverse views in this article about youth crime.
I reckon public protection comes first. Get them off the streets and teach them skills while they are doing the time, then see how that goes.
And make parents more responsible.

Wasn't aware of a single kid who had been rehabilitated from being locked up.
Yes, I would believe that. Parents letting their kids run around while the parents are in the pub. If kids under 15 are running around after dark the parents should be fined.Estimated around 70% plus were there due to family dysfunction.
