Just a quick one, rally is at Smithton on Sunday 20th May. To rally against closures in the Arthur Pieman area.
Please attend and show your support, after all this is our country.
So if you want parts of the West Coast area to stay open come and have your say.
More info can be found at http://www.4wdaction.com.au/articles...closure-update
I have my flights booked, I do not want to see this great part of Australia closed to all of us.
See you there on Sunday.
Cheers
David
If you have ever seen our west coast you will know why we want to keep it open and if you haven't seen it then that's also a dam good reason to keep it open too as hopefully one day you will be able to wonder down for a look its well worth it.
I'll be there and hoping we get a good turn out. I know not everyone can just drop everything and jump on a plain, lifes not that simple but thanks to all that can and I know the rest of you will be there in spirit.

PS please find me and make yourself known.
Hey not long now before the rally at Smithton.
Just remember that this Rally requires just not 4wd people but people from all walks of life who are concerned about what is being done.
It is your (Australians) land so help keep it open to all that want to use this area.
Better management is what is needed, not lock the gate attitude.
Cheers

There are fifteen tracks being closed. Fifty remain open.
The area past the Interview river has always been out of bounds for vehicles but has never been inforced.
From what I have been told we won't be allowed past sandy cape so we can't even get to the Interview River.Quote:

Just my 1 cents worth
Not %100 sure of that but I don't think that's the case. Most people don't know that vehicles have never been allowed past the Interview river, its Been the case for a long time just wasn't inforced.Quote:

It is also interesting to note that "Aboriginal heritage" is quoted as a reason, yet the Circular Head Aboriginal Corporation have also spoken against these measures. - My personal view is that management and engagement is the real issue and hopefully keeping access everywhere needed (if one of true multiple tracks are closed that is not a major issue IMO). And also - is a track for access or to create "muddy swampy driving"? Maybe I'm too old and kind on the equipment, but driving in swamp doesn't appeal to me, I'd much prefer a rocky technical track thanks for my challenge.
Here is a clip someone made on the day. There are plans being made to hold another protest at Hobart in a few more weeks.
