Haha. Yeah you're right it does lie outside their jurisdiction...

But I think my point is still valid...

My previous talks with OEH reps and NPWS reps don't relate to this area (Dargans arch) specifically, and with how it is being handled from what someone above has mentioned I don't want to continue this further as the parties involved have their own headaches specific to this situation to deal with now...

Good luck to everyone involved having this resolved more amicably.
