Sundown National Park, SE Qld

Don`t know bout that but I was down there on the weekend and the tracks are in pretty bad shape.
There wasn`t to many ppl around either I think its nearly to the point of not being enjoyable until they bulldoze it once again.

Hi Keith

Is this the road where you go right at Ballandean (coming from Brissy) go along a dirt road where you go through a gate to collect the N.P. form before you explore/camp in the park?
If so, then I hope this is just a rumour only.
The sad part is that more than likely a minority of inconsiderate people probably have misused the farmers hospitality when driving through his property to get to the park enterance.
I suppose the farmer has every right to stop access, if this is the case?
Will read with interest from the replies you get.
This is a great N.P. to test your 4WD skills out on and it would be a shame if there is no other access to this wondeful day trip/camping place.

Yes - it was raised at our club meeting last night. Not a rumour. Letter from Government department was tabled. They are accepting objections until sometime in October (can't recall date). Given that it's a private property access issue I bet it will be closed. I doubt NP will bother thrying to find another way for us to gain access. So it looks very much like another 4WD destination is about to be lost.
Cheers from the Moose.

But it is not being closed off because of the GOOD people out there, it will be because of the minority of the HOON 4WD's that could not give a stuff about anything, especially Treading Lightly and repecting other peoples property.

I have seem an aweful lot of track and even complete forest closures in NZ due to this minority that spoils life for the majority.

Sad to hear about Sundown. We went there earlier in the year and it was a bit rough but easy in the main, just slow so you don't shake your vehcile to bits. Great campsite at the end of the track.

Saw a RAV 4 at the campsite with a very worried couple in it, easy hills in the Troopy but a real worry for the RAV4 to get up, we know, we spent long enough offroading a Freelander before we got the Troopy and Rangie and felt for them.

We have a club trip there sometime in the next few months - looks like it will be cancelled.

Keith, Don't tell anyone but there are other entrances from west & south.
Cheer's Bob.
