I went to get a 2 year NSW National park pass yesterday and almost fell out the car when the
ranger told me the 2 year price is now $320 for an all park pass. I purchased my last one in October 2 years ago and paid $150. This equates to over 100% increase in 2 years..... CPI, I think is 14% per year. Can anybody tell me why it has increased that much in such a short time?
Also
the entrance fee for Kosi has only increased by $5 making it only a 25% increase......
Now here's another observation. A one year pass only costs $145 so a 2 year should be cheaper. this equals $290...... I can only presume that fees are going to go up again by next year.
Can anybody enlighten me on this increase?

NSW Nat Parks sent a renewal notice for our parks pass recently and we completed the details and posted it back.
Got a phone call from them a few days later.
"You have asked for a seniors discount"
Yes, I said, we have had te senior discount for the past 5 years, since we were entitled to it.
Well you can't have it unless you send us proof of age, birth certificate etc.
This is a renewal I said, not a new application.
All this was done when we first got our discount, had to show the drivers licence.
Not good enough, have to do it again.
Another way the Nat parks have found to annoy people.
Told them to stick their parks, bloody things are getting like prison camps now with all the restrictions.
