Mt Rosea access 22-Sep-2009 At 9:19:04 PM JamesMc

I remember reading an article somewhere where the head ranger of the Grampians National Park was asked what his favorite walk in the park was, and the answer was Mt Rosea. That was years ago when the track went up the Golden Staircase. While I don't remember the wording in the article, my impression was that the reason the Rosea Tk was the head ranger's favorite walk was because it went up the Golden Staircase. After all, the walk to Mt Rosea is not really outstanding in the context of the Grampians.

Which leads me to the following bit of common sense. The Golden Staircase is the best (non climbing) way to get up or down Mt Rosea. Wouldn't it be better for Parks Vic to make the Golden Staircase safe rather than cut multiple tracks around the back of the mountain and keep trying to hide the top of the Golden Staircase?

I propose that until Parks Vic realise this, whenever they destroy the top of the Golden Staircase track, we should run a working bee to fix it.
