1 jul 1979 año - 1979: The Anangu people could not claim land around Ayers Rock (Uluru) and Mt Olga (Kata Tjuta)

Descripción:

- The Anangu people, the traditional owners of Uluru and Kata Tjuta, were told by the Aboriginal Land Commissioner that they could not claim the land within the Uluru National Park, nor the land just north of the park gazetted as the site for Yulara tourist complex. - - Through the Anangu's political representatives, the Central Land Council and the Pitjanjtatjara Land Council, they proposed that they be granted ownership of the Park on the understanding that they then lease the Park back to the Commonwealth for 99 years, so that it could continue to be a site of managed tourism.
- The Hawke Government proved sympathetic to that scheme, and a 'hand-back' and 'lease-back' ceremony was scheduled for October 1985, following special amendment of the Land Rights Act.
