Sounds not dissimilar to access issues we are having in NSW. What became apparent to me when climbing was banned at Bulahdelah just before Christmas after 35 years of low impact activity, was
- how little the community understands rock climbing
- how Australia lacks an overarching advocacy body such as NZAC provides in NZ. This is particularly the case in NSW where the SRC is not exactly representative and the "community" is quite fragmented
-how land managers prefer to take the easy way out, and consultation with climbers is rare
- how climbers can often inflame situations when they need to pull together.
It would be great if the country had an encompassing body that could advocate on behalf of all ( eg similar to the Accessfund) with most of the work going on at a regional or state level, but sharing data, ideas and support when the need arises. It would also provide a point of contact for land managers so climbers get their voice heard. Some states seem to have got things together and be moving in the right direction. Every climber needs to be involved in advocacy, and respect the environment, behave responsibly and consider their actions before they go trespassing/ bolting in sensitive areas etc. otherwise we will be locked out.
