On my last holiday I took a detour to re-check the Apsley Gorge track. The asphalt path ends at a lookout https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/324186826
The ‘controversial’ path is still present south of here - I followed it some of the way (about 350m), but didn’t follow it all the way to the end. There is a sign just south of the lookout - Google Maps street view shows the sign (the small yellow object near the southern end of the safety rail!) https://maps.app.goo.gl/9mDecm2GKpXxM48k6 On the left side of the sign, there’s a warning icon (exclamation mark), then “No safety rail”, another warning icon (man falling off edge of crumbling cliff), then “Unstable edges” On the right side of the sign is the text “End of track, no safety rail beyond this point” The sign is there to discourage walkers venturing further south, but it’s not technically a “do not enter” sign. Does that help with what to do with this particular example?
