Your chance to help reopen Mt Warning. One of the great family bushwalks in NSW... https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/lc/pa ... XOB3MBXJYQ

Need another 2K signatures to trigger a debate on this issue in the NSW parliament. Please sign on to help get this wonderful bushwalk reopened and prevent NP closures elsewhere. https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/lc/pa ... XOB3MBXJYQ

Cheers. Unaware but have signed and passed around. Touchy subject these days.

We reached our 10k+ goal. The issue will now be debated in NSW parliament. NPWS misinformation and lies to be laid bare in the people's chamber.

[sandym]

Well done! Not feeling hopeful, but you never know.

Significant high points are generally sacred places for aboriginals and men in particular. After Uluru became off limits it was only a matter of time for Mt Warning (Wollumbin) to join it. I can see in the future other spots that could be considered off limits. These could include Mt Exmouth in the Warrumugles, Mt Imlay near Eden and I think Mt Dromedary already is (near Tilpa Tilpa).

It's Tilba Tilba and I believe it is still open. I think if Australia goes down the route of closing high points there will be a significant number of bushwalks which will be available only to a small percentage of the population - one race and one gender. Something seems a bit off about that.

Wow, that's disturbing and, these numpties have played straight into the hands of the people who want to divide us by race.

Nice blame game there - if only "them there folks hadn't raised this issue". History is pretty clear on how kow-towing on any topic in the face of the sort of extreme sc*m on display in that article is a very bad idea.
