Stockton Beach Feedback

BOC ; take a chill pill it was only a figure of speech about the sand dunes.and i never said anything about going on the dunes at anna bay i said i drove onto the beach at stockton and off again at williamtown.hope this clears up your mistake.

There is a sign at the Stockton End saying no access but nothing to enlighten anyone when travelling south past the wreck. Where you drive off at the Stockton end you would not know it was illegal to travel that far as the sign is located at the footy oval side of the track when you leave the bitumen. Was only there yesterday with more rain falling.

anyone other than a nissan owner wouldnt understand eh micheal !

I asked the question because I am a local and fully aware of the constant complaints being made against 4wders for their behaviour on the beach. I have been known to express myself that way too. If people who use the beach and the dunes continue to disregard the relatively simple rules in place now I can see the day that entry will be prohibited. Unfortunately I don't think we are too far away from a major disaster the way some people drive out there. One only has to look at the number of vehicles that come on at Birubi and choose to drive towards the flagged area once they are on the beach. This area is clearly signposted as a no go area for vehicles. I don't accept the argument that there are'nt enough signs. It is incumbent on the driver of a vehicle to familiarise himself with any local rules. It seems that with some people the moment their vehicle gets off the blacktop their brains go out the window. I regularly see vehicles doing 80k's plus along the beach with kids sitting on the window sills or standing in the backs of utes.
The other thing to remember is that a lot of this area is now aboriginal land and they won't be as reluctant to impose entry restrictions as were Port Stephens Council!!!
