Three Sisters declared an Aboriginal Place 21-Jan-2014 At 7:41:52 PM Ithomas

I have climbed all over the Sisters and you know what - it was always fun but also somehow revolting as well. The crowds, the trashy tourism, the crap rock, the junk, the suicides - what sensitive management, what respect! The best part of being there was the shiver generated by looking down over Echo Point, the sleepovers in the shelter sheds and looking across to the miles of cliffs in the distance. Considering that we can still look down Echo Point, still bivie around the sheds and still look over countless miles of unclimbed cliffs, surely we can find the generosity of spirit to hand back the Sisters to the people who not only saw them first but who carefully looked after them for millennia.
