I would like to appeal the rejection of my Wayspot nomination for Robinson Reserve Entry.
The nomination is not for the bus stop. The bus stop happened to appear in the supporting photo only because it demonstrates that this entrance to the reserve is easily accessible by public transport.
The actual nomination is the pedestrian entrance and walking trail that passes through the alleyway into Robinson Reserve. This entrance provides safe pedestrian access from the surrounding residential area into a large public reserve used for walking, recreation, and outdoor exercise.
The reserve is a substantial public green space enclosed by residential streets, with established trees and walking areas beyond the entrance. This entrance serves as a recognised access point for pedestrians and encourages exploration and exercise, which aligns with Wayfarer’s eligibility criteria.
I believe the nomination may have been misunderstood as being for the bus stop itself. I respectfully ask that the appeal be reviewed with the understanding that the nominated object is the reserve entrance and pedestrian access to the walking trail, not the public transport infrastructure.

However, you may benefit from posting the details of the submission here to get advice from the community.
You can click the drop-down arrow to the right of the search box to filter for “Not Accepted” submissions, or use the search, or look down the list of submissions if you don’t have a lot.
Click on the rejected submission and the details will come up on the right with an Appeal button at the top-right.
This is how it looks on Windows Chrome - it will be laid out differently on other platforms but fundamentally the same parts.
Hello @Woodystar588
It’s hard to know where the best place is to post when you are new
I will move this to Nomination Support so that you can ask questions- honestly if you have any question about wayfarer do just ask.
The community will be happy to support you.
I cannot see that this submission looks like anything. The only sign towards the wooded area appears to say “PRIVATE KEEP OUT”. The reserve does exist (as indicated by the streetview at the existing wayspot just to the north), but there is no evidence of it here.
This might be an important entrance to the reserve. If so, you will need to provide evidence of this, as there is nothing visible on streetview to assist you.
The public transport is not relevant here. Based on the map, it is coincidental that a bus stop exists near one of the entrances to the reserve, especially since there is no bus stop near the signed entrance. I suspect this reserve is used by locals and that people don’t travel to get here.
In your shoes, I would want a new photograph. Possibly focussing on these poles if they are entrance markers, otherwise you will struggle with any focus.
The keep out sign was there to keep people off the hill that go though the trees as it slippy when wet but the part along the fence line isn’t clay where the hill is. The only way that bottom isn’t useful is when we had a lot off rain but I appreciate the support
So main photo with be them pole marking to trail entry facing in the reserve and the supporting photos 1 facing toward the road with them pole be part of the photo would I have to have supporting photos of it leading into the reserve at or would the first two photos be okay.
I think this will be tricky but I agree that a picture of the entrance using the posts to help frame the way in is best option.
Is there a story about why it’s called Robinsons? Also it is on GGoogle that this section is a community Garden perhaps call it that?
And talk about what looks like a nice walk linking up the different reserves.
Singleton locals are being encouraged to get their hands dirty at a community planting day in Robinson Reserve as part of National Tree Day.
National Tree Day encourages people to get outdoors, connect with nature and their community, and together do something great for their local environment.
Over 1000 native and locally significant tube stock varieties will be planted at Singleton’s National Tree Day event on Sunday 30 July from 11am-2pm.
I saw a nearby wayspot about national tree day. If this attempt doesnt work maybe wait until then and see if they put up some signs about trees and nature.
