Dogs in Blue Mountains National Parks. 7-Aug-2007 At 9:06:45 PM chris
Message
There has been a trend over the past year for climbers to take dogs into the crags within national parks in the Blue mountains, especially Diamond Falls and Bowens Creek.

The access to both of these areas is precarious, and for some time in the past, Bowens Creek was actually closed to rock climbing, though it seems to be tolerated these days. I'm not sure how long that will last if national parks finds out about the dog problem.

I've put some information onto the ACA website outlining reasons that dogs are not allowed into national parks, and I hope this will convince the climbers involved.

In the meantime, I'm hoping that a bit of peer pressure will help stop this practice!

Some of the climbers involved (all Blue mtns locals) are well known to Victorian climbers, and have spent extended "tours of duty" in Araps and the Gramps.... so please don't refrain in giving them a word or two if you see them. I'm sure Victorian climbers feel the same about dogs taken into national park crags (imagine 3 or 4 dogs running around the base of Taipan wall).
