Hi to all, I was just reading in our local paper that 481 MVO (management vehicles only) tracks have been reopened 281 to 4x4 affiliated clubs & 200 to the general public.
This still leaves over 1000 tracks closed but does show that there is hope that more will be opened in the future. This I believe is a step in the right direction.
Apparently the reasoning behind this is that if more people use these tracks they will remain clear of fallen trees and such as the 4x4 community clear tracks as they go. This would allow easier access for fire crews after Bushfires and for Inspecting areas.
This would also make way for DSE to do more appropriate work such as fuel reduction burns ect. The article also states that one of the reasons was for fire fighters safty.
I have no idea where these tracks are apart from what they say and that is they are in Wilderness areas and from what I read into it they are right across the State.
