Tim the Yowie Man wants Ginninderra Falls opened. [With Poll]

Did he find something out there that doesn’t exist?

Some will recall that Ginninderra Falls was open to the paying public in the early ’80’s when Rob and Liz Calwell lived at Parkwood and leased the Falls area from … um … (Cam’s dad was the property Manager then, and one of the Kilby’s lived at Parkwood too)… and then from Lee Freedman’s family.

Something like 4km of stone-bordered walking trails from the ‘Pulpit’ all the way to the Murrumbidgee via the Bunyip Hole (I think that’s what it was called) and back via the southern boundary.

Canoe hire at the Murrumbidgee was very popular; as was some odd bloke who’d turn up in his VW (?) and prance about in just his togs on the way to swimming under the Falls – to the surprise of the many who’d plonked there picnic blanky’s along the trail.

Penny and Jerry Olsen used to visit from time-to-time to check on progress of the Peregrine Falcon eerie located on the cliff face opposite the ‘park’ entrance.

Open it I say – or at least allow walkers to pass through unhindered – on their way to Surveyor’s Hill perhaps.

I am curious as to weather he had the permission of the landholder to visit it?

I think you only need permission to cross his land to access the falls. You can of course just walk up the river instead.

I doubt that would have been easy this weekend just passed.

Be curious no more. Yes he did. Nice pun on the weather too….it was a pun wasn’t it?

Ummm, yes, an intentional pun. Totally. 🙂

Give the owner a good price and every one would be happy. I mean the owner could run the place like a business if they wanted to you cant do much for the land in that spot.

Considering the issues that accompany allowing the public access to private land, I think that the owners should charge admission if they felt like it. Public opinion shouldn’t override the right of an owner to keep their property free of garbage, idiots and other resulting inconviences.
