SA/Vic border track closed

Can someone confirm this as all webpages still say its open.

Probably calling them up is the best Truckster.

It doesn't surprise me at all, based on the conversations that I've had with the Park management.

My assessment is that it is a case of the management fundamentally objecting to recreational 4WD activity as against the purposes of the Park, and using public safety - be it "too wet - track damage", or "too dry - fire danger" as the blunt weapon to enforce their will.

Compare to other parks like Witjira or Gawler Ranges, for instance, their management actions are out of proportion ... IMHO.

I think we can expect to see more of it (closure, that is) in SA - the department give them too few resources, so they can't ranger/police the "minority" problems (off track; litter; yobbo etc.) and so view closure as their only option - the same issue applies to beach access on the Western Yorke Peninsula CP's, for instance.

Oh well - I think it has become a fact of life with little prospect of change, unfortunately.
