Hi Gerry
Because of my work experience I know where many sensitive sites are located but the answer to your question is of course to consult with the Aboriginal community. Be aware that even though it is the right course of action it could open a Pandora's Box of complications which can only be resolved by genuine openness on the part of climbers.
In my opinion it is best to step forward with propositions that involve the community in some way, perhaps in a manner similar to that which I detailed earlier. If not, at some time in the future the baleful eye of Tasmanian management will inevitably turn towards climbers. It's not a shoot from the hip exercise and there are no shortcuts. Plenty of evidence from North and Central Australia regarding just how complex these matters are.
