Checking access to areas

Telephone the closest property owner.
They will typically respond well to polite contact and you are likely to get access where "normal" people will not.

Mining leases are no go zone they will have signs up saying no entry - prosecution is possible.

Pastoralists as many gazette roads cross their patch generally ok, there are some exceptions if it says no entry respect their rights esp if its a private station access track.

Anna plain station (WA) comes to mind all gates locked and no entry signs everywhere, similar for rocklea near paraburdoo tom price WA

Water catchments around Perth WA are no go zones unless on a dedicated walking track with camping permitted at allocated sites (huit water tank in situ) same applies to the munda biddi mountain bike track with shadows the walking track (Bibulman track)

Using apps like Wikicamps can often find places that you can camp and if a phone call is required the number to call.
But yes if it is fenced then off limits to travellers as someone either owns it or leases it.

This can be an awkward situation. If the road is a gazetted a public road that crosses a pastoral lease, legally, the lease holder cannot block access. Of course, this does not mean that they do not lock gates. There are a number of places that are public roads through properties that we have come across in our travels where a lease holder has shut and locked a gate. When we have spoken to Police about this, they say that whilst it is not legal to lock gates on public roads, there is nothing that they will do about it.

Macca.
