Hello All,
Considering to travel the Colson track in the near future, do you need permits for this track and any other handy hints would be very helpful, thanks
Seven.

Seven you won't get a permit to travel this track through the Aboriginal land.
CLC don't hand out permits and virtually never have since it became aboriginal land.
You can travel the bottom section until you reach the aboriginal portion but from then on you should turn around.
We travelled it in it's entirety back in the mid 80's and it was 2wd, top gear stuff most of the way.
We also travelled a small portion last year during a Madigan crossing and as it isn't travelled very much and no maintenance is ever done it is very overgrown with many detours around thick scrubby sections and washouts, very slow going.
