There is a lot of buzz and posts about visiting certain rockpools and beach caves on this sub.

I just want to remind people to do research before visiting these spots. Visit the NSW national parks page or get a local to take you.

As an example, I'll use a cave I know. The pink caves up north.

Timeout have an article about "caves to visit"

After chatting with parents and older friends I realised that some are still benefitting from products and services which no longer exist (or are more expensive now). With every little bit adding up I'd love to hear of other grandfathered products you have access to or use so maybe we can all keep an eye out for things we should hold on to today.

Some examples which come to mind;

• Coffee subscription which hasn't changed price in 10 years
