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.
