YIPPEE - Today I got my permit to travel the Gary Junction road-after 3 months !

Willie,

Guess what...........no one will even ask to view them. We recently had 10 vehicles in our group on the same road and we never had to show them once.

Regards
rnr!MPG:25!

I am still having trouble with having to ask permission to travel through my own country. Barry

Steve,
I am surprised you would ask such a question, but to answer it , NO I would not mind ,providing you treated it as you would your own, but therein lies the problem, doesnt it? My point being obvious I would have thought, if everyone did just that, we would not be having this discussion, areas would not be closed, and we would not have to seek permission to travel our own country.

3 months? Ha! that's nothing! I first applied for my WA permits back in Feb this year, again in May and again in June (all by fax) and finally again in mid July via the new online permit system. They finally came through yesterday after numerous follow up phone calls....
I'm leaving in two weeks so I'm glad I started the process 6 months ago!

I must have been lucky after reading these posts, I applied for my WA permits online 21st July and faxed to me yesterday 1st Aug got no complaints here
Maybe I'm just better looking (He He He)
Safe 4x4'n

They dont need permits to leave "their" country and enter "ours". It's apetheid in reverse.

I have never asked for permits .....nor will I ever seek permits on principal......I only leave my footprints and cold campfire ashes

We are all Australians although the other 98 % of us pay our own way

Wiilie Hi

Can't see why you had a problem, we have just aplied for the 3 to 4 permits we need for this years trip two with Ngaanyatjarra one with CLC & one with the DIA.

DIA on line
CLC on line and fax back 1-2 days max
Ngaanyatjarra 1 2-3 days by fax second faxed the 23/07/2007 returned 01/08/2007

Many complain about not being able to travel in their own country. Fair enough, it is the best feeling in the world to be able to simply drive wherever you please.

But having restrictions on where you can and can't go, well now you know how Aboriginal people have felt for the last couple of centuries on land that is truly theirs. And land that has belonged to thier family since Neanderthal man was still roaming France.

There are many places on the east coast of Australia I would like to travel through but can't because it's on private land!

I costs around $30 to do a days drive on many Flinders Ranges tracks because they're on private land! Skytrek costs good money to drive, nobody complains about the owners of that land making profit from it.

That's because Skytrek purchased their land. Don't start down that road as its apple and oranges. If communites want to charge a nominal fee, at least have the courtesy to offer a system thats easy and succinct.
I'd suggest to anyone that if you were waiting on a reply after a couple of months and your trip date arrives, carrying a copy of your request and the date submitted exonerates you from all responsibility. Worse service than a bank!
