National Park fees for bicycles?
 

I have wondered for some time about fees for bicycles entering national
parks. I am specifically addressing the act of riding a (pedal) bike
into a park rather than driving in with a bike in/on a motor vehicle.


NSW National Parks advice about fees charged to enter states:

"Day passes relate to vehicles, not to people, so you only need to pay
for each vehicle you bring into the park (including motorbikes)."


In theory, this would indicate that bicycles should pay the entrance fee
but I am unaware of any park that charges bikes an entrance fee.


Does anybody in NSW have a different experience?


What is the policy and procedure in other states?


regards,

Never been charged a fee to enter NSW NPs unless I was in/on a vehicle
with a motor.

Agreed. Ridden into KNP at the Thredbo entrance several times without
even being asked to slow down :-)

I'm suprised that there is no park fee per person, like buses.
