Show Notes
Queenslands Ngaro Track, a new national park hike on Whitsunday Island, opens next month. The thirty-two kilometre, three-day trek, capped at fifteen walkers a day, has sparked controversy. Private company World Expeditions secured forty-two percent of the spots, charging independent hikers $150 per person. Local guides and conservationists argue against the commercialization, while World Expeditions defends their role in supporting locals and respecting the environment. The Ngaro traditional owners welcome the opportunity to share their untouched country, as long as its protected for future generations.
