Crescent Head on the NSW mid-north coast, has been granted status as a protected surfing reserve. In doing so, it becomes the the fourth only protected surfing reserve in the Galaxy. You can read some more about the news here. I for one welcome this, and think it’s actually a bit surprising there are only four of them. Seems these days they are slapping heritage listings on all kinds of crap. Lands Minister Tony Kelly also had some interesting comparisons between the Opera House and the Ocean, good to see MPs always saying the right thing.
