Michelle and many others.
Many thanks for the follow ups - they made good
reading and shows there is a wide range of
opinion. My mistake - yes, the building was restored by the Australian Geographic Soc. not the
SA Parks dept.
My humble opinion is that the DPPass is expensive
for me - I will only visit the area infrequently and I already had all the maps and loads of info on just about all of Australia before I set off.
The DPP is $80 - up from $50 just a few years ago.
Michelle - if you are enquiring - it would be good to get the facts on funding for the parks - where _does_ the money come from? And how is it spent?
Suggestion for the website - how about an opinion poll for the various states' Parks departements and how people rate them on on Cost, Value, Strategy, Attitudes to the public etc?
Now that we are touring in Queensland - I am impressed by the quality of service that the Parks are providing here - Canarvon Park was excellent at ~$3.80 a night - great value!
For the record, I think that Dalhousie is a dusty tip but the space age
toilet block is great. There are far nicer
places to
camp but a dip in
the springs is great!
