We bought a 2 year multi-park pass for all NSW National Parks (excluding Kosciuszko National Park). The pass cost $115 for 2 years, while most NPs around Sydney charge $7 vehicle entry. That means we have to make 17 visits over 2 years to make it worthwhile.
The good thing about it is that we can now justify going to one of the National Parks for even just a short period like a one hour walk – without feeling compelled to stay much longer.
Which is what I did today – took the camera and GPS data logger down to Lane Cove NP and found a track I hadn’t walked yet. Spent about an hour walking and taking photos – very pleasant.

Here are the GPS tracks:
Many years ago, when you were still in a pusher, we were in that national park. I reckon you will have scanned some slides from there.
Next time we are over there you must take us on that walk. Looks good.
We are really enjoying the lovely photographs.
