Fine tuning

THERE'S no doubt that the opening of the Lake Wallace reserve to caravanners has been a popular boost to local tourism and the area was swarming with visitors over the holiday period (a lot of them are still there).  Council staff had done a great job in maintaining the area as a local showplace but it's a pity that some solution can't be found in keeping the amenities block open longer rather than lock up in the early evening.  The camping was intended for self contained mobile homes and the like but plenty of casual campers also drop in for an overnight stay and they too have needs.  The result is a less than pleasant prospect for the environment.  Also needed is some signage appealing to drivers to slow down to avoid creating clouds of fine dust from the unsealed roads around the lake. Most are conscious of the problem but there are others who either don't think or don't care.
