Can kicked down the road. After 4 years government still saying it needs more time to sort out. At its heart this issue is about correcting a mistake made by NPWS when it accepted a contemporary version of Aboriginal mythology over the work done by its own Anthropologists. These claims were called o...

A group of locals have started a facebook page to re-open the Mt Warning Summit walk. This is one of Australia's most popular walks. It's supported by the true custodians. Please lend your support! https://www.facebook.com/groups/427241145015683

Kurraragin or any other place declared "sacred" by idealogues - A basic premise is that the public have a right to enjoy any established walking track on public land, and a right to negotiate access on private land. I was not aware of this one - It's now on my to to list. Thanks.

Crollsurf. The situation at Mt Warning is playing out along what is becoming a well worn pathway by public sector park managers determined to close down awe and wonder regardless of the facts and consideration of the long term consequences. It's unsafe, damages the environment and it goes against so...

I'm writing this from a walking track near Mt Victoria looking over the Kanimbla Valley. The walk I'm on is no more dangerous or any less "sacred" than the walk up Mt Warning, yet one is banned and the other is ok. It seems some above live in a very small world and need to get out more oft...

juxtaposer - The sad issue with the looming ban at Mt Warning is that the group of Traditional owners who are recognised as the true custodians have been ignored by NPWS for 2 decades. It amazes me that walkers here like Jonnosan chose to support the discredited views of the Bundjalung and would rat...

PS my last contributions here were on a discussion about the closure of the Ayers Rock climb. With some disappointment it seems the whole thread was removed. I didn't realise the thought police were members.

"sock puppets". What a wonderful way to engage! Sad that when presented with facts that counter their views some people respond with ad hominem attacks. I have a keen interest in ensuring access to long established trails in our national parks are not locked up due to irrational and ideolo...

Further contradictions in Aboriginal Cultural claims about Mt Warning exposed in this 2000 press release by Wijabul elder Fletcher Roberts (RIP) http://righttoclimb.blogspot.com/2021/01/mount-warning-aboriginal-claims-about_13.html Statement by Wijabul elder Fletcher Roberts Jan 4, 2000 (Text below)...

The summit is very culturally significant to the local Bundjalung people, and they have been campaigning for a long time to have that connection respected and for the summit climb to be closed. Hopefully some alternative spots will be developed soon for the easy sight seers to walk on. For those wh...

The closure of Mt Warning does not stand up to any scrutiny and just about every NSW NPWS say about it is a falsehood. They probably have the height wrong. The safety claims are nonsense. FOI docs show NPWS made an error in providing risk information - the walk even without the chain has a similar r...
