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.
