VISITORS to one of Australia's most popular natural tourist attractions will be charged for the first time, paying about $5 to visit Queensland's Mossman Gorge, under a federal government-backed plan to create jobs at a neighbouring Aboriginal community.
Indigenous Affairs Minister Jenny Macklin announced plans to block the road leading into Mossman Gorge, north of Cairns, forcing tourists to either hike 2km to viewing platforms or, for a fee, to catch electric buses from a new car park to be built next to the Mossman Gorge Aboriginal Community.
