This week we have a special edition of the podcast as we get Outback Mike AKA Mike Atkinson's take on the NSW National Park's proposal regarding camping fees. Mike brought the changes to the public's attention through an Instagram reel which has now reached over a million viewers, so we wanted to hear his thoughts firsthand.

Join our host Amy Fairall as she chats to Mike about the history of the booking system, some of the problems the changes are aimed at addressing and why he thinks they're going about fixing things the wrong way.

You can read more about NSW National Park's proposed changes here.

To have your say, respond to this survey by May 25th.
