Introduction of winter entry visitor surcharge to NSW skifields
A winter surcharge has been added to the cost of vehicle entry to the
Kosciuszko National Park ski fields. This surcharge has been set by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART). It will be phased in over a two-year period, to give communities and businesses sufficient time to become accustomed to the increase.
The details of the surcharge are as follows:
* In the 2007 winter season (from the beginning of the June long weekend to the end of the October long weekend), vehicle entry fees in
Kosciuszko National Park will be $27 per day.
* Outside the winter season, vehicle entry fees will remain at $16 per day.
* An annual All Parks Pass (covering
Kosciuszko National Park) now costs $190 (effective from 3 October 2006).

Just shows every one that the NPWS are ripping everyone off severely, I thought that a percentage of our taxes was to pay for the national parks maintenance and upkeep so doesn't that mean we are paying a tax on top of an already existing tax to use something that is there for everyone's benefit.
The only reason they put the fees up for kosiosko is that they know people will always go to the snow and have no choice but to pay these ridiculous fees.
