Just an update on Mt Warning. The "Temporary" park closure now extended to March 2022. At this stage it does not look good for the park (that's the entire park and not just the summit) to be re-opened. If possible add your voice by writing a letter to the NSW Environment Minister Matt Keen. This par...

Here's a petition for those outside of NSW wanting to support freedom of movement in our great outdoors...

There are two geocaches and a trig at Mt Warning and its one of the most spectacular and popular walks on the east Coast. NPWS are trying to close the summit walk down permanently. A group of locals have put together an E Petition to the NSW parliament. Please sign to help save the walk. And ask you...

A group of locals have started a facebook page to re-open the Mt Warning Summit walk. This is one of Australia's most popular walks. It's supported by the true custodians, and there are geocaches up there. Please lend your support! https://www.facebook.com/groups/427241145015683

My FOI. NPWS have listed "Final Wolumbin Closure event" for 25/11/2022 see http://righttoclimb.blogspot.com/2021/0 ... on-mt.html

Seems that very little of what NPWS provide about the walk is true. Signs at the base state that following: Wollumbin, which means ‘cloud catcher’ to some Aboriginal People, is a traditional place of cultural law, initiation and spiritual education for the people of the Bundjalung Nation. Under Bund...

More detail about what I found. The sad thing is that it's such a missed opportunity to showcase the park. It could easily be a major attraction if the bureaucracy would just wake up to the possibilities.

Quick check this week reveals that NSW NPWS have secretly removed the chain and posts from the rock scramble at the summit of Mt Warning. The current temporary closure supposedly for safety appears a con. The posts and chain and the footings were all up in serviceable condition and the summit is acc...

The following from an information sheet for Mt Warning dated Nov. 2020. This does not look good for continued access at Mt Warning. If this continues expect access to Nat parks to be limited to paved footpaths not far from the car park, and forget about placing physical caches. Again please find tim...

Controversial topic! Assistance required. Following on from the ban on climbing Ayers Rock last year and destruction of the summit cairn the NT parks service announced this week that from 1 March 2021 the informal walking track to the summit of Mt Gillen with its superb views over Alice Springs will...

Thanks all, odd that it's just been abandoned. The approx. coords were...S33 37.581, E151 06.772. Under Boardwalk at info sign. This is outside the park boundaries.

Walking at Crosslands today and while walking over the first boardwalk from the Crosslands end spied a familiar shape in a recently broken up stump just next the Boardwalk. Jumped down and sure enough. a 200ml Sistema clearly marked Geocache with a readable label that read "Boardwalk Empire". The bo...

Went to search for one still in my Gps last week in Kuring-gai.Couldn't find it, but then again if I did there would have been no way to log it. Some contempt that they do not seem to have made arrangements to relocate caches with ground speak or other listing sites, like GA. Though this one would n...
