"Don´t take any stones" Uluru National Park (Ayers Rock) Local Custom Tip by Myndo

As in other national parks all over the world you are also advised here not to take any stones with you.
Not only because they fear the tourists would transport half of the Uluru away, no.
It is also bad luck to do so.

In the visitor centre they have a corner where they show you the stones people have taken with them home and later sent back ... because they suddenly felt uneasy about it. In the letters they sent with the stones they write of the bad luck they had since having the stone...
So to get rid of the bad luck they returned the stones.
