Overall attitude from the meeting supported the idea. Answer was use the track and pay for it regardless of how you use it. Discussed the idea of charging walkers who use adjacent areas or cross the track, mostly locals. There is some merit in an individual walker pass. Facilities need to be upgraded.
Education is important.
Still evidence of large fires being lit by tourists. Items for more detailed discussion in order of importance decided by show of hands. In the limited time remaining the higher ranked issues were discussed first. Education There will be huge exposure via the WWW, this could potentially promote some areas which could lead to problems. The Great Walks that are not in the WHA should be able to take the pressure off the WHA walks.
