Backpackers who hiked up a mountain sacred to Aboriginals and closed to the public returned to find their ute's windows smashed.
A Scottish man issued a warning to travellers in a Facebook group after he and two friends returned from a trek through Wollumbin National Park, in NSW's Northern Rivers region, on Saturday.
Photos show the entire tray window shattered, cracks in the windshield, and glass fragments strewn across the front passenger and driver seats.
The man said they drove to the site to ascend Wollumbin, also known as Mount Warning, which is closed to the public until later this year due to safety and management issues.
