I like to take my dog for a drive when I go away so usually NPs are out of bounds for me.
I know there are a lot of yobbos that don't give a stuff but that's just how it is.
National Parks don't have to fix any tracks except main access roads generally but if a track gets used too much they
gate it.
If I get to an impassable track I either turn around or have a go, depending on what I'm up to at the time.
I find it frustrating that there are so many people whinging about tracks that are cut up from people having a good time. To each his own I reckon. Australia is a huge place. If you can't get down a track go somewhere else and have a drive.
As I said before, Mother Nature will take care of the place like she's been doing for billions of years. Do gooders locking up tracks and whinging about "damage" to the environment should get out more, literally.
We just got back from a 13,000 km trip across the country.
When you look at those old hils and rivers through the centre and over west, it makes you realise how totally insignificant us humans are. We've been here for a blip and we reckon we have control of everything.
A cut up track today will be history in 100 years and forgotten in a thousand.
Go out and have fun.
Hoo roo,
Steve
