Tourist sites and natural attractions earmarked for #parking fees. "Tourist buses (and cars) that come thundering up and down our #roads all day, every day, don't pay anything, but our ratepayers cover it, so it's about bringing in some balance”

Sharing a #beach with nesting shorebirds. They nest in spring and summer. This is prime beach time for people, too. #Shorebird nests are shallow and vulnerable, and birds will often abandon their eggs when humans are around. #Dogs and #4WDs pose an even bigger threat. https://theconversation.com/when-we-swim-in-the-ocean-we-enter-another-animals-home-heres-how-to-keep-us-all-safe-193457 #birds #Urunga #HungryHead #wildlife #habitat
