F.M.
I had nothing better to do today than to come up with this piece of mindless drivel.
According to my book,the
simpson desert regional reserve is 29,642 sq km in area.There are about 900km (!) of public access tracks there.At say, 5 metres wide,that comes to 4.5 sq km of track area. Now lets be generous and add half that again to allow for a 50 metre track to a
campsite every 100 metres. That makes 6.45 sq km of track surface in total. That comes to a grand total of 0.025 of one percent of the park area. Surley the most radical greeny would not begrudge the general public the use of that amount in our 4bys.Especially seeing as its already there. I wonder if this formula could be used next time the Parks mob want to lock up our favorite campspots?
cheers
Mick.
