That's because that's not what they're trying to do. This all started
when some loonie-tune - no doubt encouraged by lying RNP NPWS press
releases to the local bird-cage liner about how we're all a dreadful
bunch of enviro-vandals - started booby-trapping trails, including
stringing wire at head height. Realising they were sooner or later going
to get their arses sued for not stopping Mr I Hate Bikes, RNP NPWS
started talking to mountain bikers with the clear and obvious aim of
getting us off most singletrack in the park. A storm of lies and ********
ensued and eventually most of the mountain bikers involved got fed up and
wandered away, shaking our heads and concluding that we were dealing with
career cretins. (Hi Sue!)

Whereas we never complain about rude and abusive walkers because we don't
have a selfish, bitter and twisted agenda to hide with lies. Oh well; I
don't ride there any more. There are better trails elsewhere.

The Waterfall hill's sting in the tail clinches it for me, but I'm with
the poster who plumps for Artillery Hill.
