Parks Australia has asked Google to prevent users from being able to walk on top of Uluru via the use of its street view function.

Climbing and walking on top of Uluru has been banned in accordance with the wishes of Anangu, Uluru's traditional owners, however street view still allows users to do so virtually and offers 360-degree views once at the top of the summit.

Google Australia told the ABC that it was in the process of having the images removed but that these changes can take up to 24 hours to come into effect.
