Hi All, Just a note to let you all know of some vermin we spotted at Limeburners Flat this weekend. We were extremely lucky to be camped in the same location as 4-5 other vehicles and their associated trail bikes and quad bikes. These people who have been swimming in the shallow end of the gene
pool spent the weekend ripping this great area to pieces. It wasn't bad enough that it rained a bit and gave them a great surfcae to slide around on - they lined the back of one of their utes with a tarp and filled it with water from the
creek only to transport the water nearer to their
campsite and dump it to do burnouts in. To top this off they chased wallabies across the paddock on the quads, set off firearms and generally made absolute rectums of themselves. Needless to say with alcohol and firearms together, my friends and I didn't venture over to explain the virtues of tread lightly to them. The
bright side of this is that I have surreptisiously taken many photos of this happening in the act as
well as damage after they left. We also gained a few number plate details and the culprits will hopefully get the treatment they deserve. Even with all of this we still mamanged to have a great time doing nothing but drinking a few beers around the campfire and talking the usual rubbish only 4 guys on a trip can.

Dave, I know what it's like, a few years ago we were camped at one end of Limeburners with the family (2 Littlies) when a club turned up with about 20 vehicles , no problems . But then some started to see how far up the side of the mountain they could get,causing all sorts of damage, the next day they decided to set up a
test track in and out of the creek which looked to be an organized type event ( for want of a better word) still causing heaps of damage. Needless to say the peace was bleep tered and had to keep the kids in
camp at all times. Is it any wonder they want to lock these
places up. Which would be a shame as its so lovely down there.
Athol.

Athol,
Most of us in the 4WD club/association movement do the right thing and are succesfully lobying government bodies for re-admission to closed areas.
