The DSE have been all for the word custodian, maybe just maybe 'we' should be the custodians of the land and work with the traditional owners as well as the rangers and whoever is in the government at the time as well as the visitors both tourists and climbers and make the park a even better place.
And yes radiator pine is a spreading weed that is also more flammable than gums and not that much grows under them so maybe slowly slowly WE can do better?
