Many call it a ferry Rort

But that is because many catch the ferry
Drive to the tip
Maybe stay a night at Seisia
And race back south

BUt the permit purchased at the ferry is actually an access and camping permit for all DOGIT lands north of about Heathlands and the NPA

Ie most of the Tele track

Essentially you can either pay your $200 or whatever to cross a stretch of water and leave the next day

Or you could spend a month or two camping in some wild and remote locations that the 2 week school holiday rocket ships don’t visit and still only pay $200

Your call - it’s only a rort if you don’t use the value imbued in the permit?

Kinda like going to the Royal Easter Show paying $100 to get in , buying some candy floss at the entrance store and leaving ... that would be a rort but only because you chose to make it one!

Getting to the nub of the question - will the $10 make a difference - well I think it is safe to assume that funding receipted to the NPA indigenous organisations is spent about as efficiently as your council rates and taxes. Sometimes it Sure doesn’t feel like we get value for money there !!!!
