In the age of the selfie taking photos of yourself has become an everyday occurrence. Half of all teenagers regularly post selfies. Driven by social media algorithms, many of us now flock to natural places for the best selfie background.
As one land manager told us,"We noticed a massive increase in the number of people, and the kind of visitor that we were getting. We're getting a lot more people who are maybe urban based, didn't spend a lot of time in national parks, weren't particularly familiar with the concept of bushwalking."
"They break the Civil Aviation Safety Authority rules [on drones], every flipping day, they annoy the people, the guests, the wildlife […] I've got eight crashed drones in the park currently [risking] environmental harm to the park if they catch fire or the batteries leak in the World Heritage area, in the creeks where the rare crayfish are."
"They want to get a photo without a fence in it. Look at me with my toes over the edge of the crumbly sandstone cliff." "Once we improved the view and the photo shot, people were happy to take the photo from the platform. But when the view was impeded from the platform, they would undertake risky behavior and stand on top of a 300ft cliff, right on the edge, to get the photo."
