I thought the issue was that the first section of dirt road after you turn off the Sydney-Lithgow Rd is owned by rail corps and they don't want us to use it. I didn't know there was a 'top access track'.

The PoM is suggesting we park right beside the bitumen and walk in. It actually says that the 'bottom carpark' (closest to dam cliffs) is not at risk of errosion because it's on a rock slab. The swamp is only at risk of errosion if people take the short cut.

I agree with you that the best solution would be to leave the carparks exactly where they are and spend a bit of money to signpost and fence off the tracks people aren't supposed to go down. But if they are intent on making a new car park right beside the bitumen (with a set of walking trails) at least they could make it where the road is close to Dam Cliffs.
