Appeal to holders of Ilparpa Pond keys (not in use)

[Julie Neumann <>]

Hi fellow Alice Springs visitors,
We left home feeling very smug about having already gone through the  
hoops required, in other words done our PowerWater safety on line  
induction and printed off our
Induction Certificate and licence.. I read Phil Maher's claim that  
there were no more keys to be had with a tinge of disappointment but  
trusted the situation would have been remedied in the few days we  
still required to reach Alice Springs. Sadly the story was the same.  
No keys (they are swipe style) as the birders have not returned them.
I realise that a $50 deposit is not sufficient reason for someone on a  
whirlwind tour to wait until business hours to get a key back. However  
I am sure anyone who has not returned a key for this reason, simply  
hasn't realised that they are also punishing other members of our  
birding community wishing to visit the Alice Springs Poo Ponds. I am  
sure this illustrious habitat has whet the appetite of many birders  
more experienced than we are.
Would anyone reading this and guilty of holding a key, even though  
they have long left the Alice Springs area, kindly post their key back  
to the Power Water people?
It will be too late for us but might help future visitors.
Our thanks to Chris Watson for making it clear just how we needed to  
go about the process.
Werner and Julie Neumann,
 Happy Wanderers
