I would appreciate some advice to stop a dispute between some mutual friends which nearly ended in a nasty punch up . Since the opening of the Indian Ocean Drive to
Geraldton, the access road through the defence area that 99% of us have used is now closed. However, the problem that has arisen, is that no one knows if
the beach from
Lancelin to Wedge is out of bounds as
well. I came across a map of the area on the
forum home page of ExplorOz and in fine print below it stated that access from
Lancelin to
Wedge Island between the high and low water marks is perfectly OK. I have copied and pasted the fine print from ExplorOZ web page which states: "
" Recreational access through
Lancelin Defence Training area is not granted. There is no restriction if you choose to traverse
the beach below the high and low water mark, except during live fire activities from
Lancelin to
Wedge Island. "
So from what I read, yes you can go along
the beach to Wedge, but not during live firing activities. Any updated news would be most appreciated. We were up there and saw vehicles heading to Wedge - So I see no problems ,unless some one in the defence dept decides
the beach is theirs as
well . Everything is being closed to 4x4s these days.
