Last visited Fraser in 1986. Don't think I'd like the changes much..
As for permits, while I don't like them much, they're better than locked gates, something we see more and more.

Bob, his passing is more or less explained in his book 'A Kick To The Head', which your welcome to borrow.Quote:

I'm ok with permits and if you are going to have them they need to be enforced or people just won't bother.

It's fools like this that make permits and cameras necessary.Quote:

Sort of defeats the purpose , otherwise.Quote:

So I guess that could mean all entry and exit points. Would be an even better deterrent than just the beach side entrance.
Yeah but they are clsoing (or have closed) all the good roads on Starddie - particulary the mine road down to the keyholes. Now it involes a walk in from the beach.
Beach permit prices have escalated dramatically too in recent times and needing several permits if you vist several places is stupid. Ought to be one permit to cvover all beach driving. Or at least divide the state into two or three regions.
As it is if you wantewd ot drove from Noosa North Shore up to Rainbow beach, then on to Fraser Island yo0u;d need at least two permits.
Also the expense of the Bribie permits is painful if you're only likely to drive on the beach there a couple of times in a year.
And what's worst is that, as usual, it only effects people doing the right thing.
There are plenty of knob-ends out there who pay nothing and get away with it.
Several years ago i saw a beach permit that was clearly faked but from a distance it looked fine and would be unlikely to attract attention.
I believe the road to keyholes is open again?? Either way a walk is always good......and with the mine now closed (apart from rehab and de-construction) maybe more will get opened up.....hang on between the owners, and government I doubt it.Quote:
