Not much. The sign only says "Please keep out" & I've never heard of
anybody being prosecuted for going in there - at the most they've been
asked / told to please leave. (Having said that, it's definitely *not* a
spot I'd go into by choice! It's quite common to see reports of Eastern
Brown snakes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_brown_snake being
spotted sunning themselves right beside those little patches of bush scrub!)

Much of what is being discussed here (bushes, shrubbery, sea grass on
> dunes...) is about land COVER.

Yes, as mentioned earlier in the discussion.

landuse= should be restricted to those "several" features that the land is
actually used for eg residential, commercial, industrial, military & a
"few" more.

landcover= should be what is actually on the ground inside that area of
usage, be it grass, trees or whatever.

Thanks

Graeme
