Human Impact on the Arapiles/Tooan State Park

I do mapping work locally and the aerials from the 40's are an eye opener - not a stick of vegetation on the front half of the mountain, from the rock to the road. It's amazing how things will come back given a chance.

hey mate im in year 12 at the moment and im doing exactly what you were doing, looking at the effects human impacts have had on Araps. just wondering if i could look at your work and reference the research that had taken place 8 years ago and how the park has developed compared to now.

Good luck with the slim chance that scarecrow will read your post and respond to it...

Guy's name was apparently Will Scobie - could be this guy on Instagram... ...evidently given up climbing.


But in the 8 years since that post, based on my sporadic visits to the Mount, I'd say little has changed. Camping fees went up. Not sure if that put any extra funding back into the park though.
