Victorian Nat Park Rules 11-Dec-2007 At 10:14:47 AM chalkischeap

1. No camping in caves – OK
2. No chipping – OK
3. No littering – OK

4. No removal of plants or lichen from cliffs – Sounds OK at first but it’s unrealistic. Climbers will always remove some vegetation one way or another.

5. Campfires only in authorised fireplaces – Many people regularly break this one. There are no authorised fireplaces at bush campsites but there is plenty of wood to burn and there are no noisy school groups. I personally authorise my own fireplaces.

6. Get permission before establishing a new climbing area – I’m sure no climber would risk asking.

7. Access to cliffs only on existing tracks – Obviously written by an office worker.

Rules 4, 5, 6 and 7 are unworkable and only serve to undermine the authority of Parks Victoria. People then make their own rules, as there is very little risk involved in breaking the official rules.

Many climbers have excellent personal rules e.g. leave the place tidier than you found it.
