Climbing ban at Uluru ends a chapter, but there may be more underway

Indigenous activists and traditional owners of Australian land, encouraged by the recent closure of Uluru rock to tourists, are calling for similar bans on more sites considered "home" or sacred by indigenous people.

Among a growing list of places Australia's indigenous people want closed are popular walking sites such as Mount Warning in northern New South Wales, Mount Beerwah in the iconic Glass House Mountains on Queensland's Sunshine Coast and St. Mary Peak in the Flinders Ranges in South Australia.

The climbing ban on Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, took effect on Oct 26. In its wake there have been renewed calls by the local indigenous people to close access to Mount Warning.
