Honestly, I'm not really fine with this decision (as an Australian citizen).
First of all, this is about nature. While this may sound idealistic but at least in theory nature - or at least special natural places - shouldn't be owned by anyone. And many of those special places are sacred to the indigenous people. If we shut them all down, things would get a little boring here.
The indigenous people argue that this is about respect for a sacred place. However, there are masses of tourists visiting churches, temples, mosques. You can even climb many of them.
I think nobody would have an issue if the rock would shut down due to religious ceremonies. A total ban though ...
