[QUOTE="Anolphart, post: 419444, member: 11434"] I think that you might be a little bit harsh Ballina1. The NPWS has a huge area to control and contrary to popular belief they do not have unlimited funds. I dont know where youve been looking but my visit last year to the Flinders I saw no less wildlife there than I would have expected anywhere else. The last time I was in the Warrumbungles about 3 years ago the roos and wallabies were in the campground and I did not see any goats there at all. Last year I stayed in the Kinchega NP and Lake Pamamaroo and saw no goats. There were goats on the Mundi Mundi plains and Silverton as well as on the road to Tibooburra, and a lot between Wilcania and Broken Hill, but as mentioned previously, these are being farmed. Whilst we prospectors may have a beef about limited access to some gold bearing country in National Parks, my understanding is that it is being addressed and they may be more receptive to it in the near future. I had a long chat to the Marybourough ranger the other day and he advised me that this year (after many years without) he was finally allocated $30,000 to grade the parks' access roads ... and thats for ALL of the local park roads, so I doubt that the parks out west would be any more flush with resources.
