Last long weekend down at Bendethra I noticed new signs prohibiting the use of chainsaws in the National Park (Duea) with a fine of $3300 (woo), wondering if it applies to all NPWS Parks, Regards Frank.

Could be for legal reasons, or just a friendly reminder:)Quote:

I ave no issue taking wood with me. though having a chainsaw would be handy for trees over tracks. . .
Indeed. Chainsaws come in very handy clearing tracks and if 'they' had any sense the government would not prevent people from carrying saws for that purpose,
Makes firefighting easier too...
Fine people for illegally cutting firewood, sure, but not for having a chainsaw in their possession !
I fired an email off to parks to get them to get there position clarified no reply in a week
