Gives a little insight into what is happening

Pity the news report only regurgitates what NPWS are saying and does not actually prove anything.

Looks like a certain magazine may have aided in keeping it closed just a little longer.
Sometimes it is better to say nothing at all.

Don't know if it qualifies as proof. 



Love your sig, but we wont blame you for the flooding

They got 20 pages of photos for their article - so its a win win..

They seem very proud of THE BIGGEST CONVOY OF VEHICLES IN THE WORLD, when I thought it was about protesting the closure of Stockton, or perhaps the Watagans, nah all of Australia, no wait it was the convoy I think.

From memory I thought it was hot and sunny that weekend, wasn't until after the weekend during the week it started to rain

[crackacoldie]

Yeah was a nice weekend, we arrived on the sunday and the rain started Monday night.  Nice part of the world though, is on the "must come back here" list, which is forever growing.

Let us know and will show you around, (what is left open for us)

That has been on the cards for a long time and mentioned many times

Kurnell used to have sand hills.. some were 100+ foot high sand dunes from coast to coast and for about 10+klms
it now looks like this with sand mining now underground as they have trucked the hills away for buildings. That's where Stockton will be in 15-20yrs time.

Do you think the Worimi need the money generated from 50 campers a weekend ?

Not now !!

Only trouble, it will probably turn out like the North Entrance debacle......50 million bucks all but vanished into bank accounts...bugger all chanelled into actually helping any aboriginies !!......and even worse was the claimants to the wealth were not even the traditional owners....because the traditional owners were no longer alive....another nearby group were allowed to claim !!
