Climbing banned Centennial Trev Blue Mtns - NPWS 30-Apr-2015 At 12:04:21 PM Jdodds

I am all for keeping good ties with the NPWS, but I hope we all realise that this all came about due to very few complaints from bush walkers who have lobbied the parks service for this closure, they visit the area for all of 3 minutes whilst they take a few happy snaps of themselves standing on the arch and then vacate the area never to return again. I fail to see how they feel they have more say in what goes on in these areas, it is the climbers who actually spend countless hours here truly appreciating every nook and cranny and generally making return visits to send the proj or climb a different route. The bolts are in, so may I ask what the further damage is? A little extra chalk if anything.
I would like to ask how NPWS justify the large steel fence's that require a 100mm core drilled out hole and then concreted in that adorn every lookout and section of walking paths where a walker may stumble off the cliff, this is a real eyesore and permenantly changes the parks landscape to allow access for people who can't come within a few Metres of a cliff without stumbling off.
All reports from bush walkers and bush walking clubs visiting the area came 1 year after the equipping of the routes
