Look I agree that there is no point antagonising NPWS over this, and personally I can see where they are coming from with this situation. But given that (presumably) they won't approve any bolting even in a place that isn't going to attract other park uses, I can see why someone bolting wouldn't inform them if their automatic response is going to be 'No'.
