utc really it's not i'm australian don't regard myself as a pc pusher but i'd think uluru has moved ahead of ayer's rock as the preferred name by most people certainly when i was younger in the s it was pretty much unheard of to say uluru and anything other than ayers rick made you look like some sort of lefty nutter but in the last years or so it's changed oh and using qantas as an example is probably not ideal the airport they fly to is called ayers rock so it's understandable they'd prefer that name anyway just my c june
