Mummel Gulf National Park - please! help needed to keep tracks open

Can you help?

Mummel Gulf National park has two iconic 4wd trails - Dicks Hut Fire Trail and
the River Rd - that make there way down to the Mummel River. These are fantastic and very scenic 4wd trails that the NSW NPWS plans to lock up forever for no good reason. The Mummel Gulf National Park is North of Nowendoc, East of Walcha just south of the Oxley Highway:http://www.exploroz.com/Places/64402/NSW/Mummel_Gulf_National_Park.aspx

The Dicks Hut Fire Trail runs down to a former lease area where Dicks Hut stood up until a few years back prior to a bush fire in the area. The descendants of Dick are very un-happy that these trails are closing and locking them out of an area they spent there childhoods at helping there grandfather log red ceder and transport by it by bullock to Walcha.

Please if anyone can help in any way to keep these two trails open then please post here or call myself on 0428237908.

I have written a submission to the Walcha NPWS ranger which can be found here:site link

The Mummel Plan of Management can be found on the Decc Website or here:

The proposed closure of these trails has come about simply by the NSW NPWS service raising a DRAFT plan of management and proposing that these trails be classified as management trails and hence closed to the public.

Well if you like touring in the bush you need to make a stand.

Please if you know the area or have been there then submit a submission opposing the closure - it does not have to be long just making a submission is better than no action at all. Submissions have to be in by May 24th. Copy your submisisons to your local policticians as well.

Maybe if we all act together and use the internet to spread the message we might just stop one small piece of NSW national park from being locked off forever.
