Aboriginal community wants to restrict Barrier Reef access

Queensland tourism leaders have expressed concern at an Aboriginal community�s bid to have sole access to parts of the Great Barrier Reef and other World Heritage sites.

The move would give the Girringun people - whose traditional area extends within the Wet Tropics and the Great Barrier Reef - exclusive access to some of Queensland's premier tourist areas, including Hinchinbrook Island.
