Mount Warning Closed to (Most) Australians

- Mount Warning (Wollumbin) is an 1,159-metre-tall mountain formed from a volcanic plug in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales. Up until recently, it’s been consistently rated one of the best walking trails in Australia. Note, I said until recently. This score has been influenced by some harsh one-star reviews of late: “It’s closed! There is no valid reason for it! The government are destroying everything!”, “Ridiculous that it’s closed!”, “We went there to hike Mount Warning, and was told it is closed. We should all enjoy this beautiful country, as Australians”, “Closed, NSW government is turning us into Wall-E movie humans.” Here’s a picture if you’re not familiar with Wall-E.
Can you guess why hikers are forbidden from climbing Mount Warning? Well it was initially closed during the pandemic. You know, people might accidentally spread an airborne pathogen while hiking in a remote forest. According to AllTrails, “Indefinite Closure: As of July 2022 this track is closed due to safety concerns and continued consultation with the Aboriginal community about future management.” Ah yes, safety concerns. You know, you might get struck by lightning. But I think the latter half of that sentence is getting us closer to the real reason: “continued consultation with the Aboriginal community”.
According to NSW National Parks and Wildlife, Wollumbin (Mount Warning) has been “affected by closures”. Affected: influenced or touched by an external factor. It’s as if the Government have no control over these closures. It’s just some external event. “Wollumbin summit track and the Aboriginal Place remains closed. Penalties apply for non-compliance.” Ah yes, penalties. Ich bin ein mountain climber.
“The summit of Wollumbin is a sacred place to the Bundjalung People, and was declared an Aboriginal Place in 2014. Wollumbin, which means ‘cloud catcher’ to some Aboriginal People, is a traditional place of cultural law, initiation and spiritual education for the people of the Bundjalung Nation. Under Bundjalung law, only certain people can climb the summit.” And let me guess, most of you listening don’t fit the prescribed ethnicity or ancestry. Only certain Australians can climb this mountain, and you’re not one of them.
This has got so ridiculous, that private security guards have been hired to keep you away from a mountain. Apparently, it’s costing the taxpayer around $7,000 a week. Somehow hikers evaded the sparsely-spaced security guards and scaled the summit anyway to view an Australia Day sunrise. Perhaps the security guards need to be provided with night-vision goggles, bloodhounds, and Tiger attack helicopters (all taxpayer-funded, of course) to prevent these criminals from committing the most heinous of crimes, that is, Australians climbing Australian mountains.
NSW upper house MP John Ruddick said, “This is a sad and terrible joke. Mount Warning is part of a national park like any other. It is a taxpayer-funded asset of our state that should be enjoyed, appreciated, and respected by all Australians.”
In 2007, the late Marlene Boyd and elder and custodian of Mount Warning stated, “I do not oppose the public climbing of Mt Warning… How can the public experience the spiritual significance of this land if they do not climb the summit and witness creation?”
The point is, not everyone agrees with the climbing ban, whether that be Indigenous or non-Indigenous people. So why are the state dictating this? I know this is a banal argument, but what if the opposite were true? What if there was a rule that said only non-Indigenous people could go up Sydney Tower? I think we could all agree that would be awful. It would make Indigenous people feel repressed. Then why is it okay to say that only Indigenous people can climb up this mountain? Isn’t that equally repressive?
The only thing this ban has resulted in, is animosty and resentment. It hasn’t resulted in people coming together. It’s resulted in the opposite - more division. Perhaps that’s what the government want.

How come that less than 3%of the population has more say then the rest . I remember when the elders used to say the land didnt belong to them they were just the caretakers . Now all the halfcasts think it is theirs .
Halfcaste??Morelike just identify as aboriginal.I live next to an aboriginal health centre and i know for a fact that all you have to do is tick a box to say that you identify as aboriginal.The centre then gets funding to treat you and there are plenty of lowlifes on that gravy train.
I'd say it's way less than that; something like .1% having influence due to their ethnicity. It's a bad joke.
Godless Leftist worship them. They'll keep pushing for "change" as it's the only purpose they have.
Yes, caretaking and protecting it from the destruction and greed of you people. You've already destroyed enough of Australia's environment. Maybe if you had some morals and respect things might be different. How about you open the doors of your posh yacht clubs, country clubs and exclusive golf clubs and resorts to all Australians.
@@JC-lu4seGeez we really are a bitching racist mob of people aren't we.
These decisions should be made by the majority of Australians. The government is there to represent and protect the interests of the majority.
No its not.
@@andrewblake2254what is the government here for then ?
The role of government is to represent the Australian people ( internationally ) , build hospitals etc… maintain our roads etc… basically!!
NOT to dictate 2 us, NOT 2 make decisions / partners etc.. eg WHO, UN, WEF etc.. WITHOUT our PERMISSION/ CONSENT etc.. NOT 2 use our $$ for whatever they think/ want etc.. Our $$$ is 4 AUSTRALIANS , NOT THE REST OF THE F. KING WORLD !!
@@Kelly-wf5ie we did not make the government... it was created bit by bit by the dark side... to control u and decide your fate
yeah not if its corporate governance.
derrr
If there was ever a case for mass disobedience, just organise thousands to arrive on a certain day and challenge them to arrest you all...
like covid..??
Exactly, as long as we all sit back and allow our corrupted woke government to enact these racist laws they will continue doing it.
The aboriginals also had laws about being able to eat children.....there is a reason why aboriginal law should not form any part of any legal setting.
They also had a culture of "promised" wives apparently sometimes before the girl was even born 🤮
Few know of their cannibalism.
@@OpinionFactChecker there is a book here in Western Australia written maybe 200 years ago by a Spanish Monk - Rosendo Salvado. I’m reading his memoirs at the moment which are very detailed about the indigenous he met, including their cannibalism
Yes they were cannibals they killed their first born girls discovered first by Spanish I think also Dutch explorers wrote from their ship they could see aboriginals slaughtering small black Adult humans it is written in history books, so much for the bull shit history they teaching the kids of today!! about time this was exposed for all to see the real history
Bingo 💯
I thought only one law was followed in this country , Australian Law. As an Australian Citizen I will walk in nature wherever I bloody well want to. Australia for all Australians. Stop the climbing bans ,End the native title claims and end the woke cr@p
HEAR HEAR !!! You go freedom fighter,
The labor party gets votes from the "minorities" you only need that extra 5% more in elections to win them.
just climb it! we are!
Imagine loosing Bondi Beach.
When I heard I was no longer allowed to climb Mt Warning (and the reasons why), I lost absolutely all sympathy for aboriginal issues.
I lost any sympathy 30 years ago when I went to school with them.
@@Design_no You poor thing.. Must be hard being you...
We don't need sympathy from you arrogant arseholes

Give the mountain back for all people to walk. Imagine if they banned the indigenous from certain buildings like the pub and the C.E.S?

Or the dole office.
Ban them from alcohol. The very thing which has destroyed them the most. But noooooo that’s racist
Nature is for everyone.
They’ve closed Camooweal Billabong campsite in QLD, which was free for everyone. They’ve closed the beautiful beaches of northern Dampier Peninsula at Kooljamin, WA, a spectacular place. They have also restricted access at the Horizontal Falls, also WA, where the Narrow Gap is no longer accessible, and actually want to ban all boats at the Horizontal Falls. Gunlom area in Kakadu also closed. They have recently put a land claim on Balmoral Beach in Sydney. The Bungle Bungles Caravan Park has not been allowed to open due to aboriginal dispute. This all in the last 2 or 3 years.
We used to climb it all the time, lots of small businesses and towns are losing out on tourism because of these idiotic decisions
Ah ha, that's the price of doing NOTHING, it's the Australian way. 1.5 million extra people have been brought in by Labor- people Said nothing now they will be destroyed.
Fence it off, excise it from the National Park and remove all public funding for its care and management. If you cannot access a National Park it should have no public funding of any type at any level.
YES!!! Good idea then sit back and watch it turn to shit in their incompetent hands.
Damn right. They can pay for it themselves.
They can use their "law and customs" and "deep knowledge of country" to take care of it. This will not require funding, as none was available pre European settlement for same.
We went up last year just tell them your from the Kickatinalong tribe and ignore them keep going and take no notice
Hey brudda, I’m right across the river from you! Yeah it’s me Nigel from the Crackatinny tribe. Ya gotta smoke?

Yeah Brudda i stole some gum leaves from the neighbours
@@Plethora_of_Paucity You obviously have come across a few of our noble savages 🤣🤣
Identify as aboriginal and if question you play the race card!!
If they keep this up, people will be fed up and against any claims of native title big or small. most people are reasonable, this is pushing them further to resentment and furthering division.
This way forward doesn’t end well. Once more Australians are aware people’s homes are being taken from them and given to local aboriginals, there will be times people won’t oblige and will stand their ground and fight.
@@bangazboom9925shame we don’t have a second amendment …
But don't forget that some States are going ahead with Treaties despite a 60% NO VOTE.
I doubt it - the labor party has the votes of these communities - expect more closures.
The people have no real power anymore, when are you all going to wake up and identify that?
Great video. To those people who got around the security guards & witnessed that Australia day Mt Warning sunrise, Well Done!. Real Australians!.
Glad you enjoyed it
What is it with this sudden discrimination based on immutable characteristics actually being implemented by governments in the so called developed world? Absolute rubbish.
To govern your mind.
Majority of white fellas stopped listening to the race baiting for power by politicians and elites, so they took what racists they had left and rebranded and repackaged for a "Modern audience".
Did the traditional owners pay rent or have any receipts of ownership. Did that hunter gather existence have any concept of ownership of land before settlers came.
They were Conquered my friend, by a Superior society. It was a genourous Take over, in regard to "the natives". Govoner Phillips paperwork is there for all to read.
Conquered, as was my tribe and yours 'tween now n 1AD. How far back do these bleating morons seek to go??
We were all overrun in history, by better and more capable humans.
Yr funny 🤣 of coarse they didn’t
Only once the wabos realised how much $$$$$ could be made from it.
Absolutely not! No, they have made no claims previously to ownership, they never established or valued settlements! They had provided no evidence of any sacred settlement, nor what actual losses was suffered and by who, nor can they prove who massacred whom or when, family connections, etc! It was survival of the fittest, fight, graze, move on! They had no thought of valuing human life or looked to planning for the future! Now they value our valuable assets? 🧐
They used to fight each other, eat each other
I climbed Mt Warning in 1986 as part of our Scout Venturer Unit Initiation. To be the first people in Australia to be kissed by the mornings first sun is spiritual, & mesmerizing. I climbed i again over the next decade a number of times as an ses volunteer going up to rescue stranded & injured tourists. It is an exceptionally significant & special place to me. I am not an Indigenous Australian.
That's a good point. These places are sacred/significant/special to us as much as to earlier peoples, perhaps for different reasons, but sacred nonetheless.
I’ve already handed out today’s “boomer comment of the day award” but you deserve an honourable mention for mentioning something you did in 1986 😂
Congratulations 🥈
So this is what has become of this great country. UNBELIEVABLE
As a non aboriginal Australian, this majestic mountain holds deep and significant meaning for me. Why then should I be excluded from climbing this wonderful place? No reason but pure racism.
I was appaled when this was announced years ago, and remain appaled as it only divides our nation and our people.
Say NO to NPWS, and say NO to divisive rules.
NO TO APARTHEID
I've climbed Mount warning a few times, it actually is pretty dangerous. On my first climb I came across a guy with two broken legs and one broken arm on the track. He wasn't in a good way, the rescue guys were already on the way up. And that wasn't even on the final section. I'm a bit old to be bothered with climbing it now but it's a great memory of mine climbing it with a European beauty back in the day. If I didn't already have my memories I'd do it again, just find another path away from security if you have to.
I watched a bloke go tumbling off the path. My father rescued the man who ended up being tangled up in some vines, very dramatic moment. He was pretty banged up but it could of been so much worse.
_Climb it change. Nothing to do with race. Trust the science people._
Nice pun.
I saw this prank earlier today that the 'Traditional Owners' saw a sign acknowledging them and their land ownership. These Traditional Owners asked if they can live in this persons house and have a cup to tea, where the woke person refused them entry.
Perhaps the Traditional Owners should go to Parliament House and ask to take their land back there. Odds are they will do a better job running the place. It will also crush the narrative.
John Safran did a prank like that way back in like 2006. It was aired on SBS. Imagine that airing today 😂
So we've got a rock of the Ayer variety, a mountain of the Warning variety and probably others I'm not aware of.
How long before there is a ban on a harbour of the Sydney variety? Or a coral reef of the Great Barrier variety? Or an entire island of the Tasmanian variety?
You gotta house? I’ll give you a smoke for it. Hey mate you gotta smoke?
This was the town I grew up in and I didn't know about this until now.
It was a minor talking point in the local area that non-aboriginals shouldn't climb it... but nobody actually wanted it to become law.
My first climb was at 7year old along with my family, amazing walk and view from the top. Been there 6 times , least ive not missed the climb up.
So if everything is Aboriginal land, I'm sure the local Council will not intervene if an Aboriginal person decides to build a house or structure anywhere in the nation?
Sadly correct.
I presume, given that Aboriginals were tribal people, access would also be denied to non-Bundjalung Aboriginals too.
Meaning that the government needs to produce and enforce the use of Aboriginal Tribal passports to get this mess that they created, sorted out.
The Tweed was never Bundjalung country. They've taken the opportunity to attempt to claim it, thinking the local mob's all died out, but they haven't. The local mob's mostly support public access. Bundjalung native title claim over the Tweed was rejected a year or two ago, due to lack of connection to it.
@@peterronan8167
I appreciate the information you provided and my comment was always tongue in cheek, never meant to be taken seriously.
But your point is taken as I was amazed that access to the location had been closed off with no apparent proof of anything claimed by the Bunjalung people.
Stand up Australia and take our county back
Never going to happen.
@@Thyalwaysseek sadly most probably true people are just too asleep to even know what’s going on under their feet and their noses
@@barryewington707 Unfortunately our government has been infiltrated and corrupted, Australians too distracted by social media, reality TV to identify we are being slowly destroyed from within. They'll only wake up when the boots are stomping on their necks and they can no longer breathe.
Funny how these claims have only turned up in recent times !!!!!!!
Yep $$$$$$$$$$ is what its all about to the wabos.
So...is this all part of the "reconciliation" I keep hearing about? Has it started yet, I'm looking forward to all the "healing" that's about to happen? In the words of the famous Eddie Mabo - "That's ours, we want it, you can't have it, so there" or something like that....
What does full reconciliation look like is my question. 100% of the land given back? Full Indigenous parliament? It's an industry now based on grievance.
It’s a punishment for voting NO.
YES I AGREE ! This is just the tip of the icebreg.
@@evabyrne-kr1fz Indeed. Labor is making it their job to shit on everything hard as possible
The vote referendum was a smoke screen to elude that we voters have a say. Nah! they had this planned all along. They got the right to vote and help from Australia in 1967 when we the Australians voted (YES) in the referendum to allow Aboriginals to vote in elections. So why did they need another voice?
These issues are significant as border control to most Aussies. In time we will get it all back because if Labor/Greens/Teals who bestow this crazy stuff upon us don't comply, they will become unelectable. Just as Labor *_HAS TO COMPLY_* with LNP border protection policies or never get elected, the same will happen here.
And we also have a Governor General with executive rights! 🤔
In Victoria, walking off a designated walking track in a national park will attrack a $1000 fine.
Sorry Commandant!
I would DEMAND to see this “ law “
SHOW THE LAW TO THESE ALLEGATIONS, PERIOD !! If they have THREATENED people with fines etc… they must present the paperwork, NO correct paperwork etc… NO LAW etc… just extortion and that is a crime in itself !!
This is disgusting 😮
Who are the fine's paid to?
@@MzFlowerchild The Yowie (Aussie bigfoot)😂
The path up to it was built over 110 years ago by volunteers. It should have been heritage listed. I went up about 8 months ago, and they had already started actively cutting things out, the chains for example have all been cut off with a grinder. It looks like they attempted to cut the legs on the platform but gave up. The tracks are in a terrible state of disrepair because it looks like they have been driving a buggy up them. Many of the steps which are over a century old, looks like they have been pried out and thrown to the side.
DISGUSTING !!! But why am i not surprised , they have lost all credibility and sympathy for their so called cause and race.
I dont think is the Bunjalung (sp) It is not their way. This is some kind of next level investors.... very dark as in next level controllers of some sort @@evabyrne-kr1fz
Hypocrisy. Aboriginals claim a spiritual connection to the land and country, but if people want to climb the mountain and have a spiritual connection to the land and country, there’s a small few aboriginals in this area, who are now claiming Mt Warning as there’s, who will stop you from having that spiritual connection for their own purely tribalistic a possessive justifications that are only valid to those few individuals. I call bullshit on their spiritual beliefs if they prohibit other people from spiritually connecting to this beautiful region of Australia.
It would be like a church refusing individuals from entering who did not have the correct ancestral lines.
Then the question has to be asked ..... is it even a site of significance or is that just being made up to take control ?
all about control, just go there
Either way it should be open to ALL.
@@tonybloomfield5635 ignore their power tripping and carry on going wherever you like

And this is just one of many things that will be off limits to the people, and one day soon even beaches will be “closed “
As a white indigenous Australian ( meaning someone who was born here) I will walk where I damn well want to.
thankyou we were looking for a new place to explore it looks awsome. we will be climbing this one.
Every piece of land given back to them in my area is neglected and often run by know indigenous criminals. The government has had to fork out a fortune to try and clean up the mess they make of the land.
Funny how much they respect their land is it not
What a f#cking joke, i grew up there and hiked up in winter every year. The indigenous avoided wollumbin because of stories handed down from 1000s of years ago that the mountain would be fighting as they would here loud bangs and cracks and fire came down from the sky when they approached it. Being an obvious reference to when it was volcanicly active. As a result they avoided it like the plague.
As far as i heard it was closed because of increased foot traffic. Which has happened to quite a few other nice day trip spots around the coast as well. Too many people wanting their sea change and massive tourism.
The result was degraded tracks and possible litigation if someone got hurt. So cheaper to close them, and give out a bullshit story.
Yep. That last 100m up the chain is a genuine safety concern and with more people comes more people who shouldn't really attempt something like that....
@@ALeafintheWind414I've seen an old lady scaling that chain. Most able bodied people can climb it.
@@the.parks.of.no.return Yes, most able bodied people can. The problems start when people who aren't able bodied get within a stones throw of the top and try to climb up anyway. National Parks is still responsible for them no matter how many warning signs they put up.
Apartheid never ends well.
I wonder when they will install the no walking on footpath signs down Pitt and George Street.
OK, so one thing you didn't mention is that the safety concerns are genuine. The last 100m or so of the ascent is very steep and rocky and you need a chain to get up. The rest of the ascent is a very easy path, but this top section does make it tricky for those who are elderly, unfit etc. That said, this was one of the most popular natural attractions in the state, and it wouldn't cost a fortune to come up with a reasonable solution.
The truth is, there are a tiny number of aboriginal agitators who are causing trouble and ruining it for everyone. Mt Warning is actually the first place in Australia you see the sunrise. It has been a popular place to go on New Years Day for this reason and people used to hike up the night before, only to come down and find every car in the car park had their tyres slashed.
You can't reason with these people, yet our state governments keep kow-towing to them. Covid was the excuse, but I fear it will never be opened again. The same pricks are trying to close Beerwah in The Glasshouse mountains too. They will never be satisfied, and everyone in power is too gutless to say no to them. I want to take my children up there to experience the beauty I did as a kid. It makes me sick.
Are our beaches next?
Racism
True
If I’m in the area I will certainly climb it.
What a load of garbage, we need to just ignore all this BS and climb it anyway.
just to let you no I emigrated here to Australia in 1989 from Wales my mother father anti, uncle and cousin who are still part of me have passed to the other side, the spiritual side, there ashes spread into the country beneath me into the ocean surrounding me I am part of this country spiritually, if I wish to climb the mountain with my spiritual connection I will and no one will stop me,, this land and water surrounding it is part my spiritual culture now..... And for ever......
Wonderful video. Sharing widely!!!
Give it a decade and we’ll all have to pay to sit Aboriginal dialect lessons just to use google maps.
Now I wanna climb it even more.
It’s called “control “
It is a beautiful place, open to all Australians. If you want to keep others out stop the rest of the world and make it only by invitation. At a price to keep it maintained.
How does go and get….. sound! I am a proud Australian man. I am indigenous to this country. I was born here and I have ancestors buried on this land. I will walk anywhere in this country. Good luck getting anything out of a fine from me. This country is for all Australians. Parks works for the Australian people. Stop allowing this. 😎👍👊🇦🇺

There's only one law, Australian law
Minns is a jerk. This should never have been closed. It is one of the best bush walks I know of and the scenery around it is great. It is time governments considered everyone rather than the select few who have an axe to grind. 0/10 Minns!!
Thanks for not shying away from this subject. Im over this divisive crap. Subbed.
I’m proud to have climbed it. It was the best mountain I’ve climbed in Australia. It’s a crime that they’ve taken this away from us.
I have climbed AYRES ROCK. One of the best things I have ever done ! I have no reason to ever go back there !
I believe that Sydney Harbour Bridge is a culturally significant religious landmark. I demand the NSW government closes the bridge immediately and only allow people who can prove that an ancestor of theirs helped build it to use it.
Don't give them any ideas, LOL

them security guards did not look like bungjulongs!
I thought about this last night: They banned climbing Ularu, which dramatically dropped the price of realestate in Alice Springs. Which actually hurts indigenous people, as they are not building equity on their mortgage.
Same could be reasoned here presumably
Had no idea this had happened - and hearing this completely pizzes me off. That climb is a bucket list thing for me, and I’m guessing a few other people. I had to rush to allow my kids the opportunity to climb Uluṟu before they closed that (I’d climbed it before). What other parts of Australia am I going to be excluded from? How many sites and areas will I be excluded from? Should I tell foreign friends to refer to a schedule of closures in their travel planning? Are we still able to drive past Mt Warning and take pictures, or are there copyright issues now? Am I going to be given a ‘welcome to country’ or a fugg off if I stop at the exclusion barrier at Mt Warning? Can I even watch footage of Mt Warning now? How much longer can I do road trips and camp outdoors before that’s excluded? Are National Parks doing this everywhere? Will businesses that suffer because of closures be compensated and by whom? Will further taxpayers funds be spent on management of exclusion areas or is this now the responsibility of aboriginal corporations (there’s a lot of them)? Will land tenure be changed? Will tracks and park’s infrastructure become the responsibility of aboriginal corporations, or taxpayers? What happens when there’s a wildfire - are white fellas suddenly allowed into exclusion areas? What about for controlled burning activities? I have so many questions.
It’s disgusting. A land grab under false pretence. I hiked this area for 30 years. To have a security guard at a fence tell me I’m not allowed up there…. What country is this again?

There are places in Victoria being closed too, Turpin Falls in Central Victoria has been closed for a few years now, not due to Aboriginal interference as far as I know. A lot of places have been closed or left to rot!
this has been going on for a long time. i sailed a boat in queensland 22 years ago and was consistently told sorry this island is closed, you need permission to visit (permission was never given to non indigenous). they were always the best islands with fresh water. get used to it the labor government want to divide the country, karl marx style.
At north Stradie there’s a lake with a sign that says something like “thank you for respecting aboriginal heritage by not swimming in the lake” does anyone actually believe aboriginals didn’t swim in the lake themselves.?
More guilt tripping from the virtuous ultra left.
What an absolute load of bollocks, no wonder the voice failed 🤨
Civil disobedience, just get a group together and walk it anyway.
Banning on cultural,spiritual, traditional grounds is akin to religious discrimination isn’t it?
I'm white and I can have spiritual experiences on the mountain too. It is a great mountain with spectacular views. The security agency is Indigenous-owned also. That seems logical but where does it stop? Creating jobs based on race and excluding people from public areas due to race?
No wonder Aboriginal Customs and Culture thrive around the globe - they treat everybody equally.
Yes Vote in disguise. Edit, I mean Woolworths consulted Aboriginals about Australia Day. Look what happened there.
All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the English ever done for us?
They were also talking about closing the glass house mountains as it was a place of spiritual birth. I strongly believe they just made that up and are on a power trip. Tony Abbot was so right calling the voice an activists power grab.
Ridiculous law. Glad to say i have completed it 3 times but i would of liked to take my 2 daughters up there when they are old enough.
Our country is under attack we need to stand up and say No More.🤠👍❤️🇭🇲
It's outrageous.
This is old news. I was lucky to climb it with my best mate one year before they shut it down. There was a guy a top the mountain handing everyone lollipops and saying “good morning” was funny shit lol. A teenage troll basically.
Get used to it, in the future everything will be closed. Tourists need to be told that it is closed so they dont make the mistake of going there.
the majority of Australians would NOT agree to the closure of Mt WARNING. NATIONAL PARKS ARE TO BE ENJOYED BY ALL Australians - Open the mount up so all can experience the spirit of nature.
its time to draw a line in the sand and make laws that reflect what access is permissible at this point in time. that is, anything currently closed/ restricted can remain closed. Anything currently accessible by all will forever be accessible. I feel sometimes that being only 5th generation born Australian is still deemed an immigrant. Its time to also set out how many generations it takes before you are classed as all Australian regardless of ancestral heritage.
The powers that be, want the people divided, poor and not paying attention to what they are up to.
