[QUOTE="LC76, post: 415728, member: 3698"] I remember reading in I can't remember what book it was, and it was probably extremely biased coming from gold rush reports, that the local indigenous groups only used the Whipstick as a way point on their way to other locations and never actually lived there as it was no good for water and hunting. I've no doubt there would have been sacred sites or simple but invaluable landmarks used for navigation. And those sites should be protected if still intact. But restricting over half the Whipstick and other areas is only going to create a bigger devide and more "us VS them" situations that won't help anyone in long-term. PMAV should have been included in the discussions and it's a bit of a slap in the face and proof that PMAV just don't have the political teeth to have any affect. Or am I just a biased prospector and seeing this all wrong? [/QUOTE]
