When Manly rangers knock off...

and the other authorities too...
They defy the law and

• bring their dogs almost daily on to Manly beach and Shelley Beach
• empty their dogs especially at Lady Fairfax Walk, North Head National Park. Faeces deposits are increasing on the heath, ringtail possums are torn to death.
• let their dogs off the leash in 'penguin areas'
  
• light fires at Shelly Beach (with the vegetation of the headland)
• scrape the shellfish of the rocks of the Manly Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve and fish with them at Manly Beach.
• come in boots at night, fish in the Reserve with lights on and leave with full buckets.

'9 - 5 enforcement' to be continued...

Proud to defy rules, o.g.

Cattlemen defying ban on grazing in the National Park.
Fishermen defying ban on extracting seafood from Aboriginal-owned land.
Tourists defying ban on feeding protected wild-life (dolphins).
4 WDrivers defying ban to drive in Hat Head National Park, vandalise gate.
Dog walkers defying ban to jogg dog on Manly beach (17.10.05, 7pm)
NSW farmers defying ban on 'broadscale land clearing' of native vegetation.
Recreational fisherman defying ban on marine park.
etc.

Cuttle 'fish' all over Shelley beach

A walk on Shelley beach (03.08) at night exposed a beach littered in cephalopoda, you might know it as the "stuffed with…thing". Approximately 13 white cuttle 'fish' each 30- 40 cm long were lying all over the beach. 'Natural stranding?' They have been around for some 542 million years now and are still performing their rituals in the protected Cabbage Tree Bay area. Many large boats came right in in the last days and went about their 'business'. These strandings go unreported. Bait?,boat chemicals or just tangled in nets?
