You want a bloody valid solution swaggie?
Sack the bloody lot of nsw national parks rangers & management!!!! they are so bloody incompetent its not funny
I have no problem with gates (in highly sensitive or high risk areas, they keep the dickheads out.
We should be able to get access to these gates however, if it means joining a club (liabilitie isues?), contributing to working bees (to clear fallen trees, illegally dumped rubbish etc etc) then so be it.
Small price to pay to be able to explore my backyard..........
just because some dickheads own 4wds, doesn't mean i or my mates deserve to be punished....
How do you know what i have done to try and keep the bush clean and accessible??
I haven't done much in the scheme of things, because i have only owned a 4by for just over a year..
What about all the older wheelers, who have spent most of their lives in low range, how come they have let it get to this stage with out putting up a fight, or real solution???
What you victorians don't realise, is you have the most progressive and accomodating park rangers (dse) when it comes to recreational activities in national parks.
Us new south welshmen and qlders however seem to be screwed! WE are stuck with these greeny nut bags, who want to lock the gate, so their mates in the 1% who can hike for days, are free to bum each other in privacy....
Not to mention the extra pressure on what little that is left open.... naturally the area will deteriorate quicker, hence giving them more ammo.
That being said i am still holding a glimmer of hope after hunting is finaly allowed in nsw national parks, we might start to see real change in the backwards thinking of npws........
I doubt they will change by themselves but hopefully some people may force them
