Received my Madigan Permit last week issued the 1st of May .Our trip was to include
Geosurveys Hill ,Geographical centre plus some other off track points of interest ,however a new condition has been added the permit stating that you can't leave the Madigan track by 50 metres and that
Geosurveys Hill and Plenty lakes are prohibited. The area south of Madigans Line to south of Geosurverys
Hill in a parallel line to the QLD border is titled land not marked on our Nav maps. This puts a big hole in our trip as we missed out last year coming in for the west.
If you want to visit the Geocentre you still can just come in from numerous routes from the south
QUOTE from Permit. 2. Access to side tracks is not permitted, except to find a
camp within 50m of the Madigan Track.
