Mr Irvine said “no tourists are getting through” the blockade, admitting he was blindsided when the flight arrived to the region after he thought it had been cancelled.“Being a small community at Yulara, his next-door neighbour worked at the airport and they advised our manager that actually the flight was coming.”Source:Supplied
Last month, MCAC called on Parks Australia to keep nearby Connellan Airport closed because of concerns tourists from interstate hot spots could spread the virus to vulnerable community members and elders. In a statement provided to news.com.au, a spokesperson for Parks Australia said the park would now be closed from 1.30pm today for at least 24 hours.
“We are continuing to work with the Mutitjulu Community Aboriginal Corporation, Northern Territory Government and Voyages to reach agreement on additional health and visitor screening measures within the Yulara township, at Ayers Rock Airport and departure points, which complement the measures we have already put in place within Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.
Honestly, I just hated massive crowds of tourists even BEFORE corona, so I like, kind of get this
GOOD
I’d say it’s NT government that should come out and say that. If it’s still OK to travel to NT then they don’t have a say sorry. Allowing too many groups dictate how we live these days.
Why are people still traveling ? I see people on social media leaving Australia for OS, how? Why?
I would help them if I could.
Couldn’t agree with them more. I wish Michael Gunner fanniebay would close the NT borders again. A lot of nervous people in Alice Springs and surrounds. We cannot allow this to reach our vulnerable Indigenous communities.
