Garigal NP MTB Tracks
Hi everybody.
Just wanted to alert fellow members I heard just now on ABC Radio, a caller named Rosemary talking up the terrible prospect of an MTB Track through Garigal NP. I remember reading posts about this woman's antics on this website a while ago. She was quite strong in her arguments to the announcer about the threat to Aboriginal carvings and to wildlife if night riding was to occur, and of the threat of degradation. Another caller followed up with comments about trail bikes and park degradation also.
