Where is the Indigenous rock carvings-to the left of that?
Way left. Good hundred mtrs.
They seemed very protective before of this place and can't believe what they have done and love to know the reasoning.
Private land not in the NP, apparently.
... a typical electricity supply entity use of the big chipper to decimate any vegetation that might catch fire from a spark off their supply cables. For some reason NPWS either have no control over, or no wish to control, the devastation that this process seems to cause. Makes any erosion / damage from mtbs seem absolutely trivial....
Definitely private land. Been cleared for a DA approved development.
the penthouse apartment on the top floor-great views & right next door to Manly Dam!!
I walked this with spindog this arvo.
It's private land right on the border with Garigal NP. Stops at the gate where the rockgarden is.
Bumped into a couple of other locals who were walking and shaking their heads, too. Disturbing, but not a lot we can do - it's a done deal, and never "our" bushland to start with.
I did notice they've left the power pole with the thick pole-and-cable fence behind it that shut off the exit from the old Bantry Bay loop that started opposite the Parkway entrance to Manly Dam... so it looks like we've lost a hundred metres or so of that (closed off) trail.
I rode down there for the first time in a few weeks on Sat and was shocked and really really hoped it had nothing to do with the Bantry bay MTB track under discussion recently.
As it is I reckon some folk will be thinking this is the case even though it's not.
