AB - This paper discusses the necessities and possibilities of alternative cultural representation at the World Heritage site of Uluru. The example from postcolonial Australia illustrates that the notion of a collective, cross-cultural heritage holds potential conflict. The concepts of intangible heritage and of secret-sacred knowledge are central to the analysis of how tourist representation can foster understanding of intangible heritage while respecting cultural protocol and integrity.
