Would you prefer P&WS covered them with cammo? Or perhaps buried them underground in a secret vault like the one in the Western Arthurs?

I must have missed that one! Too well concealed for me.

But seriously, the ones at Dixons Kingdom look more out of place than most of the others I've seen. I'm not sure what it is about them... perhaps it's just that they're metal structures rather than wooden.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the alternative of finding *&%$#! holes or worse all through Dixon's is a far less appealing one.

PS: there was a website about the Oberon secret base, it even had an underground train system. But The Government covered it up, obfuscated the evidence, and killed the whistleblower. I know people who know.

You're ignoring the point - they've been hiding these bases all over the state for years. And why? I think it has something to do with Willem Dafoe.

You mean Mike? I always thought he had that "pinky and the brain" air about him.
Parks should take the McDonalds approach - walk, instead of driving on a road, for an hour in any direction on a track and there's a toilet. Would certainly help me as I get older and have less continence :)

This topic seems to have turned to s..t.

The toilete at Dixons may look out of place but they are better than the alternatives. Once the poplars grow to hide them it'll look much better. :shock:

On topic, off topic, what's the difference?

Parks and Wildlife burger wrappers all over the trees at Dixons... hmmn.

At least the might turn a buck then. They could make a McCradle Burger and Fries, Freycinet Frappes... UnHappy-About-Park-Fees Meal, Overland Track McWilderness Experience, Quarter-Budget and Cheese.

They were probably investigating executive car parks in Hobart.
