How do you get in?

Don Brooks

We have a number of national parks, such as Namgar, Tarlo River and others which are surrounded by private property and access is by permission only.

Needless to say permission of entry is difficult. Sometimes property owners have had bad experiences or they just don't want people walking across their land.

If you are considering a trip to a national park with difficult access, then permission must be obtained and your party must observe common sense rules such leaving gates as you found them - staying on made roads and not disturbing any of the farmers stock. A short thank you note to the property owner will ensure the next club will be able to gain access.

Confederation at its next conference with NPWS will be discussing this issue. We would like some feedback on any experience you may have had (good or bad) .
A few lines to tracks and access Sub-committee would be appreciated.
