Hi mitch46and2,

So a very quick outline on the original closure of the track. It was a request by Traditional Owners with regards to the known and publicised cultural heritage sites that were previously available to access/view by the public. The track closure wasn't directed specifically at climbers, which may be what people feel. It was to give more of a buffer zone to limit the amount of public and vehicles heading in there. Our discussions with PV after that was to discuss how we could come to an agreeement to lessen the walk in for climbers as such.
After the fires, and any kind of natural event, inspections always take place. Generally why they then find impacts both natural and otherwise, as well as new sites.
Those sites had some damage so even more sensitive. I was not privy to their actual conversations but I imagine it's about damage control.

Victoria Range in particular but not limited to, and cultural heritage is quite a complex situation given that there are humans that like to access the areas where it exists. And the more tricky situation where it is unknown to exist.

There are more conversations coming on this.

I know I said quick outline ;-/ but this conversation is much bigger than just this particular topic.
Questions and discussion are good. Communications on both sides are on the board for improvement.

Thanks for asking.
