THE pristine Outback setting ofUluru has been ranked one of thetop spots in the world to watchthe sunset.
CNN picked Uluru and itsneighbouring natural wonder,Kata Tjuta, as the third bestplace to stare at the horizon asthe sun scatters pink and orangelight over the clouds and sky.
The rock of Uluru appears tochange colors as the sun beamsover the desert landscape, hittingKata Tjuta in the background.
Kata Tjuta, also known as‘‘The Olgas’’, and Uluru were theonly sites in Australia picked forthe list of 12 Superb Sunset SpotsAround the World.
The sites beat traditionalfavourites, such as a Hawaiiansunset on the popular Mauiisland, a sand dune sunset inDubai, or a view of the horizonfrom the Grand Canyon inArizona.
But these sacred Aboriginalsites, also listed as UNESCOWorld Heritage areas, werebeaten by the longest teak bridgein the world, the U Bein Bridge inMyanmar.
Kenya’s Maasai Mara NationalReserve came second on the listpicked by CNN writer RaeminZhang.
‘‘Dusk is that magical, etherealtime of day, favored by painters,photographers and postcardmanufacturers,’’ Mr Zhang wroteon the CNN website.
‘‘We’ve picked a few that wethink stand up to that claim.’’
Council urged to ease upon skateboarders in CBDKatie Weiss
SKATEBOARD workshop organ-iser Matty Day says that towncouncil bylaws will be unable to stopyouth and street cultures sweepinginto Todd Mall.
Mr Day urged council to send outa positive message about youthculture by embracing skateboard-ing and allow skaters to enter thenorthern end of the mall, which isnow open to vehicle traffic.
Council initially agreed to allowskateboarding in the new Todd Mall
development but backflipped on thedecision in a recent meeting.
‘‘It’s important for young peopleto be able to be young people in themall and in the CBD,’’ Mr Day said.
‘‘The bylaws just need to catch upto new developments (in society).’’
Mr Day said he would offer towork with council to develop astrategy on ways pedestrians andskateboarders could safely sharethe streets and walkways.
‘ ‘It ’s not a unique issue,skateboarders exist with pedes-trians all around the world,’’ he said.
Councillor Chansey Paech joinedcalls to ‘‘reclaim the streets’’ andallow skateboarders to enter themall after a majority of councillorsvoted against the proposal.
Mr Paech accused his fellowcouncillors of being ‘‘more inter-ested’’ in banning skateboarders inthe CBD than problem drinkers.
Councillor Steve Brown said heinitially supported the idea butultimately voted against skate-boarding in the CBD due to thenoise and safety risks involved.
‘‘Skateboarders, I’m afraid, don’t
mix with people,’’ Mr Brown said.Mr Brown said al lowing
skateboarders in the mall couldencourage a ‘‘skateboarding frater-nity’’ to take over the strip andcreate hazards if their boardsflipped out of control.
‘‘It’s really all about trying tomake it fairly safe for our pedes-trians,’’ he said.
Mr Brown said backlash againstthe skateboarding ban had ledcouncil to consider opening up asecond skate park near Todd St.
