Indigenous readers be advised that the following letter contains references to persons deceased.
I read with some interest and also, I am sad to admit, disappointment, the article by Marc Hendrickx (
Echo, 17 February).
As a climber I understand his concerns and can empathise with his sense of potential loss and need to protect what is important to him, but am not convinced by his arguments.
I am particularly concerned with his criticism of NPWS for preferencing the views of the Bundjalung nation over those of the late Ngaraakwal Elder Marlene Boyd, who stated, ‘How can the public experience the spiritual significance of the land if they do not climb the summit and witness creation’.
