Just another post on that old chestnut – campfires. It’s all been said before. CliffCare and Friends of Arapiles as well as many members of the climbing community are working together to try and get the information out there. This recent campfire was discovered last week at the Good Morning Arapiles boulder. Quite a large and recent campfire as well as a half burnt log which I can only assume was removed from the campfire at the end of the evening.
Signage is at the campground. But best it be said again. Campfires at Mt Arapiles are:
1. Only allowed in the actual campground. 2. Only allowed in the campground and in the official metal fireplaces.
3. Only allowed between 1st May and 31st October. (No fires between 1st Nov & 30th April)
4. Firewood collection is not allowed in the park.
Put a jacket on if you are cold.
Various reasons as to why – the main one being environmental impact. Especially so in an isolated park such as Mt Arapiles.
At this point in time, people are still allowed to have campfires, albeit in the campground. It would be great if this could continue but if the incidences of campfires around the park continues to grow, we could find ourselves out of luck.
