old aged scholars with no experience of life outside of their own toilet bowl. about time they gave their drivel a rest imho

one over here got rolled over allowing horse access to parks, now it is back with avengence and revenge in their heart..

their will be some BIG changes in qld according to the grapevine i have heard... pity the releveant departments dont listen to someone or something with some real clue and life experience outside of a text book...

Try liability, maintenance and money.

If you go via the "Albany Hwy" side of "Serpentine dam water catchment" area you will come across locked gates with big signs that say:
KEEP OUT ... WATER CATCHMENT AREA .... and then it will carry on about pollution / oil / peeing / cars / bikes all contaminate & destroy our water resources .. so keep it pristine ... keep out

If you go in there (like i did / no i didn't cut the locks of the gate) you will, in some spots, find drill rigs have bored heaps of RC holes / just like the kind if you were hunting for minerals and looking to develop a open cut mine (have worked on mines & used theses rigs)

So.. is the gate locked to "Keep the water pollution free" or is there something that they don't want the public to see

I was up there last week and they had closed the second half of A Break for grading. I was wondering how they were going to grade it, as some of the steepest bits had be destroyed from wheel spin, in a manner that left two options - 1) rebuild it (yeah right) 2) grade it out which would leave a slop at most.

Due to the closure I was left to explore, and did find a track leading off A Break, which would be a great day trip, with a hill climb for those that wanted to.

Ill do a run up there on my weekend (Wed/thurs) and have a look. This track can be accessed from A Break or I think Peggs/Byron road. See what happens.
