Hi all
I have heard a couple of faint rumblings that Googs *may* be closed.
Can anyone confirm or deny?
Thanks

Ron Moon stated a case about
Googs Track in the December 4x4 Australia mag. His article relates to the minority pressure group who is getting massive donations from local and overseas companies. The group is called the "Wilderness Society" who have hatched a plan called 'Wild Country". They are copying a US project named "Wildlands Project" who's goal is to set aside approx 50% of North America as "wild land" that would be free from human interference of any kind including aerial over flights". There is big money in the States assisting the US plan and the Oz "Wilderness Society" has similar ideas. According to Ron Moon, the Wilderness Society has selcted the mallee area in the west of SA, "centred on the Yellabrinna Regional Reserve", that inlcudes the
Googs Track to be one of the first areas targeted. Ron Moon goes on to say in effect, the SA Govt is considering this plan...yada yada yada.
So again it is possible that minority radical greenies will again judge where we as 4wdrivers will and won't be able to go in the future. The way it is going, we won't be able to go anywhere, with the amount of pressure against us in shopping car parks, bull bars, tracks etc....are we that dangerous and cause that much damage?
I think not
Just Do It!
