Children, left behind by suburbia, need better community design

I grew up in Northern Australia, later returned to raise my kids there, I'm back again with grand children.

I literally cannot parse or make sense of your comment.

Which is one indication of just how fundementally different various parts of the world are.

But I think there must be a misunderstanding, as it would be unusual for a place near suburbia to be a national park or similar area with restrictions like this.

There's nothing there I can see in the NT park rules that precludes digging or building a fort.

Around the world some place back onto national parks, other places have large areas of undeveloped land that aren't national parks (cattle stations, community land, etc).

The video I linked is representative of the kind of ocean land I grew up on and still live near part time - it's a good place to raise children, plenty to do.

Same, from Romania. If you hike you can more or less do anything you want along the way. The only thing "booting you" would probably be fatigue :-)))
