Hi all I just ring dse today and they will not be sending out reininder this year and you can't do it online but you can print out the forms online and use them .

In NSW I got an email and a text from NPWS. They do care after all!

I got a reminder email late yesterday arvo too when the year's updates needed to be done by midnight last night. Finished mine around 10pm so all's good.

Last year I insisted, actually demanded, that NSWNPWS send out one of their returns book. This was due to the pathetic internet service that we 'country folk' have to use and my inability to use their electronic records.

BTW when I was asking about what species and their numbers held on my records to my shock they advised that my records had not been updated recently, 7 years out of date. This is a good example why the government has allowed us to access and update their records electronically as it appears they do not have the manpower to audit successfully and hope most bird people will complete their records in a timely manner.

I don't know of anyone using the e-book system in NSW who hasn't had major problems with it.

I refuse to use it & asked for the books the first year they bought it in, they even paid me a "random visit" afterwards, & said my name was drawn out of a hat so to speak, but then enquired why I wasn't using the electronic system, so I politely told them where they can shove their online record system.

So in other words they are getting paid for what may I ask??? who are these people who say you have to have a licence? do they actually check?? I bet they are not even Government

I did our internet return in Victoria last year and it worked like a dream. Really, it worked well. Gonna do it again.
