    Recreation

    Plan ahead and prepare:


    Know all regulations of the area you are visiting/staying.
    Prepare for all types of weather conditions, hazards and
    emergencies before your trip.
    Schedule your trip to avoid times of high use (A rush of other
    campers).
    Go in smaller groups, split large groups into two if possible.
    Repack food to minimize the amount of waste.
    Use a map or compass to stop yourself from marking or
    flagging the grounds.
    Travel and camp on durable surfaces:
    Durable surfaces can include, established trails, campsites, rocks,
    dry grass or shrub and snow. Keep waterways safe by camping at
    least 200 feet away. A great campsite is found not created, in
    popular campsites and areas concentrate use on one track and area,
    keep campsites small. Spread out use to prevent the creation of
    tracks, trails and campsites. Avoid and stay away from spaces where
    environmental impacts are just beginning.
    Dispose of waste properly:
    What ever you bring in you bring out, dont leave any rubbish
    behind. Keep solid human waste in cat holes that are dug 6 to 8
    inches deep at least 200 metres away from waterways, camp sites
    and trails. When washing yourself or dishes, do so 200 metres away
    from any waterways and use small amounts of biodegradable soap
    and detergent.
    Leave what you find:
    Preserve the past, touch what you like but do not take. Leave all
    rocks, plants and all natural objects as you find them. Never build
    structures of any kind or introduce transportable species whether it
    be fauna or flora.
    Minimise camp fire impacts:
    Camp fires can cause scarring to the earth and heavily impact the
    environment. Use a light weight gas stove for cooking and use a
    candle/gas lantern at night. Burn all wood to coals/ash if you have a
    fire and spread the ash.
    Respect wildlife:
    Do not touch or approach a wild animal. Observe from a safe
    distance and never feed animals. It impacts their health and the
    ecosystem and makes them potentially vulnerable to other
    predators. Protect your food by storing it appropriately and control
    all domestic pets at all times. Avoid wildlife =and their habitat

    particually when they are mating, nesting, raising young or in


    winter.
    Be considerable of other visitors:
    Be respectful of all other visitors at the campsite or park. Do not
    make loud nosies and use a soft quiet voice when at the campsite.
    Let natures sounds prevail. Be courteous and do not invade the
    spaec of fellow visitors.

    - Swimming in patrolled spaces to confine activity to certain
    areas
    - Removal of all waste to prevent impact on environment and
    marine and bird life
    - Use designated to access beach
    - Use toilets provided to avoid waste damage and infection
    - Use bins in beach car park to dispose of your waste as you

    Activity 2: Bushwalking
    - Use designated paths to limit impact on environment
    - What ever you take into the bush, take out (e.g. waste)
    - Leave what you find and dont disturb the environment
    - Dont disturb the animals
    - Commence the bushwalk with clean shoes and leave with
    clean shoes to prevent the spread of unwanted/non-native
    species and organisms.
    Activity 3: Fishing
    - Do not dispose of waste in the water (e.g. excess fishing line)
    - Abide by the fisheries laws (e.g. throw back undersized fish)
    - Fish in specified areas.
    - When you catch a fish out of season, outside of legal limits or
    it is one you do not wish to keep, release it immediately and
    remove the hook.
