Wilbinga

Hi Michelle.
I noticed that no one responded to your post as I was interested myself in the current status of Wilbinga. As far as I'm aware, the access from the South is now closed, however access from the North is still open. Maybe someone could enlighten us on the current situation.

Michelle when I was working for LG in that area the only access was from Indian Ocean Drive near Military rd. The area is crown land vested with the DBCA to manage. There are signs for no camping but there are no DBCA rangers patrolling the area and generally they dont seem to care about campers. On good weekends and holidays there are 100's of 4wd in the area making it possibly a bit dangerous with the Boofheads.
LG Rangers dont patrol the area as it, from their point of view, private property and up to the owner DBCA to manage.
The amount of rubbish taken out of there regularly indicates how well the area is treated by the Boofheads society

Michelle there is a group calling themselves the Wilbinga Shacks Crew http://www.wilbingashackscrew.com.au/ who work with DBCA as I believe one of the members is an officer in DBCA. They arrange the cleanups etc in the area and try to maintain some semblance of order in there but the huge number of 4wd drives that enter the area make it very difficult. It should be noted that ALL land 7kms south of Moore River up to Moore river is private property that regularly has fences trashed by the feral 4wd people and livestock escape from the property.
