  • Port Hacking Cruising Division Wattamolla (Providential Cove)
    Port Hacking Cruising Division Wattamolla (Providential Cove) Approach from the SE heading NW to clear reef #1 and stay to seaward of reef #2. The depth is good off the northern cliffs. Run parallel to the cliffs with reef #2 to seaward and continue to the SW shore where a turn can be made around reef #3 to the anchor area marked in blue. Protection direction The anchorage is protected from most winds less than 20 knots, but not protected from easterlies and vulnerable to SE/E/NE swell. Depth of water Good depth all the way in with sufficient clearance to all reefs and shore lines. The average depth in the anchoring area is 3 metres. Anchoring Best position behind reef #3. If any swell comes through it’s advisable to use a stern anchor to hold the bow to the swell. Description This inlet as well as having great historical interest is in one of the world’s first national parks. It is accessible by road via the Audley weir or by sea. Approaching Wattamolla from the sea on the right day is a privilege that would not be forgotten. After a short run from Port Hacking the inlet materialises via a gap in the high sandstone cliffs. The entrance is guarded by three reefs and beyond is a beautiful white beach whose backdrop in a high waterfall cascading into the lagoon behind the beach. The holding is good into sand; however, care must be taken to choose the right weather conditions. You could imagine yourself to be at an exotic south sea paradise and only one hours sailing from Port Hacking.

  • Inspiring Speech (57Kb Pdf File)
    Full Day Hansard Transcript (Legislative Assembly, 27 February 1992, Corrected Copy) Printing Tips | Print selected text LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday, 27th February, 1992 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. Kevin Richard Rozzoli) took the chair at 9 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. GARIGAL NATIONAL PARK (EXTENSION) BILL Bill introduced and read a first time. Second Reading Dr METHERELL (Davidson) [9.0]: I move: That this bill be now read a second time. The eyes of history are upon this House. It is time for a new vision that embraces both environmental protection and opportunities for sustainable development for the future. This is a particularly historic opportunity for this House to complete a task that the first Australian settlers commenced more than 200 years ago when they set aside Sydney's foreshores. Recently, areas such as Kuring-Gai Chase were set aside. We have an opportunity to recognise that dream in the minds of our ancestors and to complete it by linking the Hawkesbury River in the north with Sydney Harbour in the south to form a network of national parks for future generations. I refer to our history because, no matter what our position is in the spectrum of views on environmental protection, all of us acknowledge the magnificent legacy of areas such as the Kuring-Gai Chase National Park and the Royal National Park. They and so many of the other national parks around this State and nation were left to this generation and for future generations by people who had the vision to set aside lands of natural grandeur and lands that protected our endangered flora and fauna.

We have been arguing for World Heritage Listing of the Royal Reserves for many years now through our First National Park committee and hope that you will use the report by Dr Geoff Mosley, The First National park, A Natural for World Heritage, as an important resource in your deliberations of the new Management Plan. (We will send a copy under separate cover.) We have seen the submissions by National Parks Association (Southern Sydney Branch) and Colong Foundation for Wilderness and strongly support the views contained in them. We would like to add the following points: 1. Recreational activities a. When deciding how to make best use of the limited space and natural resources of Royal NP, it is good to remember the purpose for which is was set aside in 1879: “for public health and recreation, convenience, or enjoyment”. The goal therefore must be to find uses that allow the greatest use, rather than trying to meet the desires of a privileged few.

  • Airstrips and Helipads in NSW National Parks
    Airstrips and helipads in NSW national parks Aviation infrastructure such as airstrips and helipads, are not common in our national parks but many parks do have them. The airstrips and helipads within our national parks are managed and maintained by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, and are used for a wide range of management purposes such as trackwork, bushfire management, and scientific surveys, as well as for emergency purposes such as search and rescue, bushfire fighting and medical emergencies. The airstrips and helipads within national parks are NOT open to general aviation. Legislated Plans of Management (PoM) govern how each national park is managed (you can find out more about Plans of Management and view individual park PoMs here https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/topics/parks-reserves-and-protected-areas/park- management/plans-of-management). Where parks have airstrips and helipads they are usually included in the relevant plans of management, including for what purposes they can be used for. Some examples include the following: Mutawintji National Park. The Plan of Management 2013 (p26 and 95) outlines that the airstrip on the park “was previously used by visitors flying to Mutawintji to see the engraving and ochre art sites, as well as being used by the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) during emergencies…and was used by the NPWS for access and park management operations”. However, the POM goes on to state the airstrip is not currently in use “as it is too short to safely accommodate new RFDS aircraft. The strip is also eroded in places and the nearby ridges make aircraft approaches difficult in many circumstances”.
