NSW National Parks have proposed expensive (in my opinion) new fees across the majority of campgrounds, which will price many Australians out of camping. In this episode I speak to former NPWS ranger, Louise Anderson (Ranger Louie on Instagram) to get her thoughts on life as a ranger and the effect these fees will likely have if the NSW Labour Government allows them to go through. Please note, Louie is not a spokesperson for NPWS service. These are just her opinions.

Here's the ePetition I created to NSW State Parliament titled Keep Camping Affordable for All Australians In NSW National Parks. Please consider signing it.

Only NSW residents can sign. Non-NSW residents can still have there say by messaging the NSW Environment Minister directly here.

Hamish survived a category 2 cyclone in a 4m boat off the coast of the Northern Territory. The hairy escape from the sea was one thing. The overnight self-rescue mission another. I’m familiar with his story because I was there too!

We unpack the ‘incident’ which scared the crap out of both of us and taught us valuable lessons.
