Guides at Carnarvon National Park fear that visitors may soon fall to their deaths, as they step over safety barriers at the gorge and risk their lives to get photos for social media.
The Department of Environment and Science (DES) said there have been four helicopter rescues and eight ground rescues from the park in 2019 alone.
A DES spokesperson says that it has responded to visitors’ dangerous acts by issuing infringement notices and applying a fine of $400 for ignoring the safety signage.
