1,500 cyclists but only four motorists have been fined after the introduction of new road laws in NSW

NSW is cracking down hard to discourage mobility without fossil fuel, prioritising cars over active transport – bikes and walking.

Cycling on a Beach in a National Park

Cycling along a NSW National Parks beach, having a swim in winter. Pods of smiling Bottlenose dolphins are surfing together. A White-bellied Sea-Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) is soaring overhead. Pied Oystercatchers (Haematopus longirostris) are wading in pairs looking for pipis (small bivalve molluscs) that have not been raided by humans as it is in a national park. When a person approaches them, the shy shorebirds make a loud whistling call and flee from their feeding grounds. The unusual thing was when approached by bike, they just continued going about their business. Nice to observe wildlife in their refuge for some time.
