Calvert Range closure and the CSR - Posted 14/5/10

Firstly I do not agree with certain laws under this so called Land Rights business however, if they have to close sites to protect their heritage they have my full backing. It is not always the Aboriginal people who create these closures. ie the closure of fire trails in the Blue mountains in the east and many other areas in W.A. situations where laws have been introduced to protect certain areas. WHITE mans laws.
As far as I can recall [to which I may be wrong] the CSR being a stock route, is open to all peoples. However with the yahoos / yobbos we have in society to-day things could change. Some people seem to think 4WDs can go anywhere with hard tyres etc... and these people do not care what damage and rubbish they leave behind.
"Yea we did the stock route only took 3 days, got bogged 54 times and really churned the track up mate getting up some of those dunes. We great time"
If someone went into your back yard sprayed graffiti over a nice mural you had on a fence that had been painted by a well known artist and chopped down your trees, I am sure you would be jumping up and down like a yo-yo. The same relates to the Calvert Range. Those that have explored the range and looked carefully at some of the paintings would have seen the Tassie tiger and other now extinct species mainland. They are priceless.
As for cutting down trees and other things mentioned in the closure notice.


I could go on.

Nuff said!!
