Thanks Zane for alerting us to that.
I will be making a submission supporting climbing.
Lord Howe Island has had a very successful breeding programme of the phasmids (the stick insect) and have rid some of the other off shore islands of rats so that phasmids may not be confined only to Balls pyramid in future. They are looking at trying to eradicate the rats from LHI in a few years time. Thus it looks like the phasmids may thrive, so if that is the case Ballls should be open on a permit basis to climbers, and the good part is you can hang out on LHI waiting for the seas to be calm enough to land.
I understand it was a climber that found the phasmid originally when it was thought to be extinct.
