Hello All
I visited Oallen Ford last saturday afternoon in the hope to see 7.62 but read the first part of the post and not the last section saturday vs sunday.
OK, the homeless man in the red ford sedan camped under the bridge was packing up and heading out as he didn't want the police to take his details again. Then the convoy of 4 wheel drives came out from a down steam spot , one being towed as the owner drowned the 4wd in the river in the previous night. Then I heard the sound of a motor purring away from an upstream location, a couple of blokes setting up camp for the night and the noise from a pump for his high banker. had a chat with them, victorian number plates on vehicle when they said they come from canberra.
noticed a few cans and a bit of rubbish lying around here and there. I mentioned the use of mechanical tools like a bobcat and surprisingly they confirmed that a bobcat or something comes late at night lights blazing every where so they must be locals .
So, in a short time, discovered 4wheel driving, camping and littering in the environmental reserve which after looking at the signage is not clearly indicated , is the reserve the land above the natural watercourse waterline ???? who knows.
WE who go there are not the enforcement authorities so it may be a bit of a touchy subject to discuss the issues with those we may encounter there.
After all that, I had a thought , to promote our association and forum, in that we have a short session now and then and pick up visible litter , take pics and sent promotional info to the local Council to support our case to reverse that stupid no fires and no camping law so we can legally enjoy fossicking there.
So, to those who go there on a regular basis what do you think.
Does anyone know who owns that kamakasi kangaroo that ran into my car on my way home, got me just behind the front guard mudflap so bull bars are only good for front on shots lol.
