Pity the news report only regurgitates what NPWS are saying and does not actually prove anything.

Looks like a certain magazine may have aided in keeping it closed just a little longer.
Sometimes it is better to say nothing at all.

They seem very proud of THE BIGGEST CONVOY OF VEHICLES IN THE WORLD, when I thought it was about protesting the closure of Stockton, or perhaps the Watagans, nah all of Australia, no wait it was the convoy I think.

Yeah was a nice weekend, we arrived on the sunday and the rain started Monday night.  Nice part of the world though, is on the "must come back here" list, which is forever growing.  :D

Get a load of this...

Now the reason becomes clear.And it is the Mayor of Post Stephens who owns the mining company...

That has been on the cards for a long time and mentioned many times

Kurnell used to have sand hills.. some were 100+ foot high sand dunes from coast to coast and for about 10+klms
it now looks like this with sand mining now underground as they have trucked the hills away for buildings. That's where Stockton will be in 15-20yrs time.

Do you think the Worimi need the money generated from 50 campers a weekend ????

Not now !!

Only trouble, it will probably turn out like the North Entrance debacle......50 million bucks all but vanished into bank accounts...bugger all chanelled into actually helping any aboriginies !!......and even worse was the claimants to the wealth were not even the traditional owners....because the traditional owners were no longer alive....another nearby group were allowed to claim !!
