Just mates is where it's at now, not going to publicise. Yes it is def. National Park. MTB I do as well, just don't understand why NP see one activity I do as acceptable, ( and they do, as I have seen MTBers go into thNP office and ask for trail directions and maps) and another lower impact one as not... not pointing fingers unless I include myself... don't be so quick to read the negative into other's words. ok the fat tourists bit was a little harsh maybe, but ciggie buts and Mars wrappers make the blood boil. In fact the pick-up on the way out theory of bush-use means the area is more litter free now than when we first went there... don't comment unless you act is a good way to go I think. Most climbers I know are of similar mindset, surely this is a help to the conservation movement... education of park use is what they always harp on about, I think as a user group we tend to be more proactive than most do we not? BTW as silly anecdote, found an amateur beehive near said bouldering area, now that can't be too 'legal' either can it.
