Well finally I have some information on getting permits for Madigan Line. I may be wrong but a few people were given permits last year, but these were while the person in charge of permits was away on leave and are not how it is done now.

To now get a permit from the CLC you have to go through Jol Flemming of Direct4wd in Alice Springs and he organises it for you. So hopefully finally I will get a permit in the next few days and and we will be ready to leave at the end of next month. (Jol informed that he would have the permit done way before then) so fingers crossed. So hopefully anyone else doing Madigans in the future this will save you the 8 months of phone calls I have had to deal with, I would like to thank Peta from CLC for finally helping me sort this out.

Cheers Madigans here we come, Sorry to say this but stay away QLD rain.

So why are people instructed to go through Jol Flemming (a private organisation) to seek approval from a statutory body?

I can't see why he should be involved,...........commission on each application maybe???.

Sounds a bit sus.

Well you have to go through Lindsay Bookie to do Hay River, so I guess its similar.

Hi Glenn

Like above but I will not comment online about Jol. Lindsay as far as I am aware only has land above Lake Caroline and where you come out was still all Crown Land, with no fees what so ever required.

I will give you a call.

Cheers

Stephen,
there was a presss release on June 7 last year where the Atnetye people were given title to extra land south of lake caroline and while I cannot find a copy of the map today from memory it extended down below the madigan line. Press release is on CLC website but not map showing new area.
I assumed at that time that Lindsay Bookie /Jol Flemming would control access as Lindsay was mentioned in the press release.

I was interested at the time as we did madigan last year as you know.

At least Lindsay is pro tourism and welcomes visitors/access and his fees are not to exhorbinant.

Must admiit I was looking on Jolls website the other day and didnt see anything specific about madigan line.

Will be most interested in final outcome
cheers

Hi Howard

Hoping to do Mt Dare, the crossing to Colson and back down it to Mt Dare this year.

Don't think that part was on any such map , and also checked normal sites here and found no permit requirement so far.

P.S. I'll soon be able to have a tag like yours "Resigned to Retirement"

G'Day,

This is Jol Fleming, maybe we should close it all together i don't need the headache of getting permits for those who are are a 'bit sus' why should i pay some one to do the permits, return phone calls and emails tto people that are 'sus'

ive been to get a detour around the Colson sacred area, maybe i should stop that too, you southerners can go somewhere else.

For your information, i am doing my best to make this happen, im dealing with 3 differnt family groups, if you dont like what i do or have done stay your side of the divide. and doing it in my own time,

bleep off Jol

Gday Jol,

I think if you read through most people in these posts have realised that if we have to have permits to go onto certain area's that dealing with one person is far better than getting the run around I have been through over the last 8 months. No disrespect to the CLC but with staff away on leave it did seem to become a bit of no one knew what was happening situation.

Personally I don't have any issue with paying to do crossings, and if the CLC want to give the job to Father Xmas to organise and distribute permits I don't have any issues as long as these area's are kept open for all to see and they don't go the way of some of the National Parks around this country with locked gates.

Cheers Glenn
