"The new tourist facilities, which now have improved walks; an interactive display in the visitor centre; upgraded car parking and amenities; as well as new signage and public art will help further stimulate increased tourism and enhance the local rural economy."
Personally... I can hardly contain myself... The anticipation of getting to play on the interactive display has me well excited. Anybody know what time the Centre opens in the morning? In fact, I'm gonna go up there now and camp outside the gates so that I'm at the front of the queue!!!
Touch of sarcasm there, just in case you missed it ;)
