I would apply this to the photography of flora & fauna on NT land as well. - They don't plant all the wild flowers, they don't breed & rear all the wildlife that is roaming freely, with the ability to enter & exit their land at will.
Why, therefore, should they think they can have the monopoly on who can and who cannot display photographs of that flora & fauna?

Mike. | they do however pay countryside management staff and wardens and carry out habitat management tasks that improve the habitat for such species - however there is no practical way for them to prove that such pictures were taken on their land and thus these can be displayed without fear of any come back under the said byelaw , so long as you dont state that they are on NT land.
