Look on the
bright side Gramps, more National Parks means more jobs in the various park authorities across Oz. Maybe we could score a park
ranger job and get paid to drive around in them all day counting gum trees........(;-))

LOL pity I don't quite have the right background for NSW NPWS.

How is this a bad thing? Less logging and more National Parks? Unless of course they close off the National Parks to any form of access.

"In an announcement which has failed to get the support of either environmental groups or loggers, Mr Sartor said ...... "
That poses some interesting questions to start with LOL
I did'nt say it was necessarily a bad thing. But, when areas go from
State Forest, virtually unrestricted access and FREE, to National Parks, restricted access and user PAYS, it sometimes tends to be bad.

agree Marny and Gramps
but what gets up our nose is paying $21 per night in NSW natinal parks (off peak rate too) and getting
toilets that don't flush (eco type fitted in many
places) and nothing else
ranger told us 2 weeks ago they have to charge so they don't upset local caravan parks
I can't swear here but guess what I'm thinking???????????

It will no doubt contribute to bigger and more fierce bush fires if they are managed anything like Victoria`s NP`s.

Scrubby,
I don't think anyone could seriously argue against that statement.

And more reasons to blame it on climate change.

They're not called "National Sparks and Wildfire Service" for nothing.

G'day Gramps,
It seems to be a State trend in QLD also. Convert large parcels of land to NP's and kick out lessees in some cases all in the name of the greater good. Unfortunately whilst it looks good on the surface they realise later that they don't actually have the resources to manage the additional responsibilities. I can only assume this will mean less access as they can't guarantee safety and facilities (and we don't want them to make it unsafe do we?). So I'm in agreement with your conclusion!
The greenies will be happy because it is their objective to keep it untouched. Must be an election year and they need some green preferences - I know very cynical of me!
Kind regards
