The thing is you can still see them from various points along the great ocean road. Granted, the best view is from the lookout that forms part of the Visitor’s Centre. Buggered if I am paying anything to see something which should remain free for everyone. Knowing this Government and the slackjaw Opposition we have, they will build a bypass highway so the only way you can see the remaining ones is from the lookout. Stupid thoughts from a government that is declining rapidly in popularity. However, what is the alternative?

Before long Labor will put walls up and make you pay to see the beach in every city. Roll Eyes

Don't give them any more ideas. How about an oxygen meter on your mouth and nose? They could charge you tax on oxygen used.

Space Doco. American Astronaut describes the country "The Great Boring Landmass" as viewed from space To emphasise this. The world's oldest river is in Australia and is still a shallow run of water.
