Does anyone know what the deal is with the large burned area along the northern side of the Isthmus track? Looked fairly recent, with only some bracken and Xanthorrhoea growback. I'm guessing it was a planned PWS burn - would've asked at the visitor center on the way back but didn't get back to the car until after 6. Another explanation would be a cigarette butt - a lot of these on the tracks in the day walk zone, most didn't even appear to have been stubbed out. I don't remember this being a particular issue in the past, but can only imagine that it will only get worse come the peak visitor - and fire danger - season...
On a similar note - destroyed another fireplace on the coast south of the Hazards Beach campsite. Seems to be at least one new one down there every time I'm in the park - some idiots just never learn
The best one was on a blazing hot day last November with a dry Westerly blowing up the mountains - the &%$&^$s had dumped their rubbish in the still-smoldering fire and walked away, with their left-over supply of firewood piled against a dead tree less than 2m from the fire.
