The recent working bee was supported by volunteers, caretakers and Park’s staff ( including Senior Ranger Jeremy Hood) saw Phase 1 of the toilet facilities upgrade completed (septic tank installed and drainage field work initiated). The new toilets will form part of the new visitor’s facilities in the decommissioned Plant Quarantine Building. FOBIQS is looking forward to completion of the next phases of the visitors facilities upgrade in preparation for another busy summer visitor season.
