touring to the cape with a dog

Isn't it bl@@dy sad, the NP's are full of feral animals, noxious weeds etc.etc. but you can't take ones best friend in there.
Well I do, and I also have taken them to task. The usual result is a back off them with a "demand" that I wont be doing it again.
My dog is a part of my family and I have an equal resposibility for her. I am not going to be intimidated by some pathetic university "edumacated" upstart about where I can or can not travel with my dog.
Funny thing about these NP Rangers, a little bit like back street hoons. Good in a mob, but on their own often lack the old backbone. One day we may yet again end up with free access to our own lands.
Come the Revolution. kesh

Viva Che Kesh !!! :))))

Hey Kesh...
"back off them with a "demand" that I wont be doing it again."
who's got no backbone?
I understand what you are saying, Australia for Australians, I totally agree, as for the rangers, I'd be careful generalising mate, you wouldn't want a couple of the rangers around here hear you say the "No backbone" thing, I think you & your dog would leave as 1 unit...
the same people who made the decision to let the ferals in are the same people who won't let you take your dog on park, Rangers don't make the rules, as we all do at work, we have to follow them, agree or not...

G'day Joe.
So where exactly is "around here"? I might pay it a visit.
And there you go, you see, "a couple of the rangers...." exactly what I was saying, have to be in multiples.
And why should Australia not be for all Australians, if its vacant Crown land then all should be able to share and enjoy its ammenity
And please give us a better description of "leave as 1 unit"? We usually do. Why on earth I would leave the dog behind, beats me. You seem to imply a little bit of strongarm tactic here, not good Joe,not good.
Its interesting,eh, that in NSW the State Forests are going to allow licenced hunters to eradicate the build up of feral animals yet properties adjoining NP's can do little or nothing to prevent financial loss from dogs leaving the park and attacking their stock.
And we wont even mention bushfires.
If you work for NP Joe, I hope its a job you enjoy, but also knowing a couple of rangers myself, I am aware that you would be well brainwashed.
kesh

Kesh,
Around here is Townsville, Come on up.....
are you saying All Rangers, Australia over are spineless, every single one of them?, thats what I took from it & I said, Don't generalise,
thats like saying All mechanics are shonks, All southerners are d1ckheads, same thing isn't it?.....
I think I said I agree with you about the Australia for Australians & everything else you said except about the Rangers.
"Leave as 1 unit", take it how you like, Strongarm tactic, jeez lighten up
No, I don't work for QPWS, I am one of the Licenced Hunters you mentioned
