“Visitor numbers were high for the opening weekend of Berry Springs with the majority of visitors behaving well,” she said.
“There is always a lot of excitement around the opening of Berry Springs, and we’d just like to remind everyone to respect other park users and to follow the glass and smoke-free areas to keep the experience pleasant for all.
“It’s really not hard to not have glass near the swimming areas or to walk 50m to smoke on the lawn.
“Overall, rangers were impressed with how everyone behaved and look forward to high visitor numbers throughout the dry season.”
