If you want to hike the peak and haven't, looks like you have eighteen months to do it.

I think they've lost enough and maybe a bit of respect for the threads they have left is in order.

I'd like to climb Uluru, I've climbed Wollumbin (Mt Warning, NSW) but I'd find it very difficult to proceed if an aborigine looked me in the eye and asked me not to. (Wollumbin now has a sign, I'm told. asking people to respect the aboriginal cultural significance of the mountain and not to climb).
