23. Episode 23 Ranger Louie - Affordable Camping in NSW National Parks
01:18:10||Ep. 23NSW National Parks have proposed expensive (in my opinion) new fees across the majority of campgrounds, which will price many Australians out of camping. In this episode I speak to former NPWS ranger, Louise Anderson (Ranger Louie on Instagram) to get her thoughts on life as a ranger and the effect these fees will likely have if the NSW Labour Government allows them to go through. Please note, Louie is not a spokesperson for NPWS service. These are just her opinions. Here's the ePetition I created to NSW State Parliament titled Keep Camping Affordable for All Australians In NSW National Parks. Please consider signing it.Only NSW residents can sign. Non-NSW residents can still have there say by messaging the NSW Environment Minister directly here.
