Terese and I are keen to go. We have been there numerous times and enjoy the cafe, beaches and ferry (if you want to visit Cronulla). A sizeable car park on the beach side of the cafe is viewable and reasonably safe to leave the bike if u want to go for a walk around the bay or ride the ferry.
BTW it's no secret that mentioning Bundeena to the rangers negates the fee because the Royal National Park is an alternate route to Sydney (and Bundeena which is technically outside the park). So, in a sense u r not visiting the park but passing thru. The rangers do have trouble tho with cheapskates who use this as a means of free entry to the park. However, there are regular patrols and those without a receipt are fined large fees on a regular basis.
No doubt, Abe has had chats with rangers as I have and knows they are not impressed with having to chase these people rather than look after the park and wildlife as much as they would like.
Can't believe Saaz or Abe won't be there. Slap my face. Bucket of cold water. And maybe not Rubencan (or Rubencant). It's like St.George didn't really slay the Dragon - IT CAN'T B TRUE.

So at this stage it's only ST.George, Mother Teresa and the Dragon that are possible, probable certainties.
Hey, if necessary we can always change the date so the stalwarts can come 2.
