25.01.2022 There is a new addition to the @riverinaoutdoorarttrail ! The new tower is located at Milbrulong, a small village between The Rock and Lockhart. It is also the ...Wiradjuri word for rosella. As part of this project, nesting boxes will be located in the surrounding bushland to complement the natural habitat of this beautiful native bird. Make sure you include this when you plan your trip along the Riverina Outdoor Trail! #wevegotthegoods #buyfromthebush #shoptheriverina #newsouthwales #regionalnsw #tasteriverina #visitriverina #visitnsw #tourismnsw #spendwiththem #emptyesky #lovensw #lovenswfromhome #buyregional #stayinthebush #roadtripforgood #holidayherethisyear #recoveryweekend #openforbusiness #NewSouthWales #seeAustralia #nsw #visitlockhartshire #riverinaoutdoorarttrail @visitnsw @australia

21.01.2022 SPIDERS You will see many. At night if you look out with a headlamp you will see hundreds of blue eyes. They are hunting spiders mostly wolf spiders. They ...can bite draw blood but are not venomous. In Australia we have funnelwebs the most venomous, trapdoors, widows, orbs, St Andrews cross, daddy long legs, tarantulas, white tailed spider, huntsman, and jumping spiders being the most known. Some can kill you(funnelweb) some just give a very nasty painfall bite (Redback spider) some are harmless to humans. When riding in the bush you will encounter big spider webs across the track these are usually made by the Orb family. They are not a venomous spider and will dash away and hide but the web will stick to you if you ride through it. A spider of the bush to be wary about is the northern rivers funnelweb. It lives in trees, hollow logs etc. They are very large.i have included photos and info in this post. They are not commonly seen.

17.01.2022 Search & Rescue and Ambulance Costs The following information has been compiled from information provided in 2015 at the Search and Rescue Consultative Forum organised by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority in response to concerns raised by representatives of the outdoor sector concerning whether persons subject to a search and rescue callout were charged for its cost. The question was subsequently put to the National Search and Rescue Council (NATSAR), which agreed to ...the following response: "A search and rescue terminates at the point that the person in distress is in a position of safety. At that point, depending on whether medical assistance is required, the associated costs will be contingent on the State/Territory ambulance service arrangements. The NATSAR Council recommends for people who are heading into the remote outdoors to research or ask State/Territory SAR Authorities on their current arrangements as they vary between the jurisdictions". Bushwalking Australia is not aware of any instance where a person who has been the subject of a search and rescue being charged for any aspect of the cost of the operation. However, where such an operation also involves transport by ambulance, or where there is no search and rescue involved and transport by ambulance is required, the situation may well be different. If you are a resident of Queensland or Tasmania and require ambulance transport in your home state, you will not generally be charged a fee. If you are a resident of any of the other states or territories, or are an overseas visitor, transport by ambulance will typically result in a fee being charged. This would also apply to residents of Queensland and Tasmania who require ambulance transport in another state or territory. Some fee exclusions or discounts may apply if you are a pensioner or concession card holder. Some private health insurance funds provide cover for ambulance transport, however typically these include exclusions and/or caps on the amounts payable. Before relying on such cover, confirm that it provides sufficient cover should you require ambulance transport while on a bushwalk. The fee charged for ambulance transport can be VERY significant as they typically include a call out fee, plus a per kilometre transport charge. Bushwalking Australia strongly recommends that all bushwalkers in NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, NT and the ACT take out ambulance service membership in their home state. Membership will also provide cover while interstate. Bushwalkers from Tasmania or Queensland visiting and walking in the other states and territories should consider travel insurance that covers ambulance transport. For more information, check the web site of your state ambulance service.

15.01.2022 A 10km fence to keep out foxes, deers and cats will be built across the Yanakie isthmus on Victoria’s Wilsons Promontory to create a 50,000-hectare native wildlife sanctuary - protecting this iconic hiking location!

15.01.2022 It’s staggering to comprehend but there are around 1 million Aboriginal petroglyphs up to 40,000 years old throughout Murujuga National Park and the islands o...f the Dampier Archipelago - the greatest concentration of rock engravings in the world. And excitingly they're now more accessible with the new $1.3M all-access Ngajarli Trail and interpretive signage open to the community, just 30 minutes from the City of Karratha.

11.01.2022 PWS is calling on Tasmanians to support the national effort to limit the spread of COVID-19 and stay home. To stop any non-essential travel during this time, al...l national parks and reserves will close from midnight on 26 March 2020. No day or overnight walks, mountain biking, fishing or other activity will be permitted until further notice. This follows the closure of PWS campgrounds to locals and visitors. Let’s all work together to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
