Collected the mail today for the local 4WD Club and amongst it is a letter from the NGAANYATJARRA COUNCIL NATIVE TITLE UNIT. Sorry if it's been posted before but I haven't seen anything previously.
The letter is fairly extensive, too long to retype here and I don't have a scanner but the consequences look pretty severe.
Basically, they have Native Title over the length of the track and they are up in arms with Tour Operators and individually camping without permission on their lands particularly off the Canning. Of concern is the area between Well 1 and well 40. Public access is only along the Canning itself. The restricted areas include the Calvert Ranges, Durba Springs and the Percival Lake area. Fines of $20,000 are applicable so you need to get permission to enter these areas.
Further information can be obtained from Lisa Maher, Native Title Project Officer, Ngaanyatjarra Council Native Title Unit on (08)9425 2000.
No mention is made of charges to get permits or permission but!!!!
