I didn't see any shooting signs at Cocopara in Dec, but they are
certainly at Binya (state forest, where shooting IS permitted) - which
is immediately adjacent to Cocopara. so for years now it's always been
a problem that shots from Binya could easily hit something/someone in
Cocopara. At the time I encountered someone with a rifle at Wattle Dam
in Binya, firing off a lot of shots - the dam is only 100m or so from
the narrow dirt road which separates Binya from Cocopara
