Mmmm... That sign (and the posts on this forum) raise a number of questions in my head as well.

What is that money going to be used for - track maintenance, replanting, maintenance of the facilities (digging bores, tanks, cleaning, etc)?

IF so then why do climbers feel that after spending $60-80 on fuel for the weekend (plus wear and tear on their car) that they can't shell out a few more dollars each in an effort to keep the Park looking reasonable. I am yet to meet a genuinely impoverished climber. In the main we're all just overeducated middle class types with far too much free time on our hands.

Or is the money (if indeed anyone does actually pay) just being funnelled into the State coffers...
