they are pretty thorough in creswick, sometimes people get asked on a friday night and again on a sunday, mostly thought they are concerned for people leaving their fires unattended as is a common practice at camp 3. I tell you what though they are going to war against 4wders and motorX went for a drive today they have cut and scull dragged trees to block every track out there. what's the point of going to all this work to make the place look like crap when you havent once put a single sign up to say "this track is not permitted for 4wd and motorbikes" not one........ I don't get it whos liable when a fire breaks out and all the fire tracks are blocked by trees
who the **** would do that
do they actually have a right to make a personal decision to block fire trails without a reason thats based on law ?
have they broken any laws by blocking the trails that happen to be " public land for use by all members of the public " ?
mate they are doing it everywhere...... there's at least 6 roads that have been blocked off its insane .....
I don't actually know any of the guys that have been doing it ive seen them driving around i always waive you get nothing.. my mate waved a parks bloke down last week because he was dragging a few metres of rope behind his truck. my mate kindly offered to tie it off for him and he just replied "whatever mate" and drove off. ... arrogance and yes these blokes are a bit younger than your average parks they don't seem to care that people come out to enjoy themselves and we all look out for each other.
My real concern at this stage is if there is a serious fire at camp 3 and the fire reaches the main road which joins camp 2/3 you have one other option and that's going up into the bush and if at any point of that road its blocked by fire your stuffed and if its a decent fire that track will get burned because its raised to the camp grounds and fire runs up hill real quick...
there's probably 6 fire break tracks along here that get you over the gully and i reckon ive seen nearly all bar 1 blocked. They first pushed dirt up to them to create a lip then dragged trees as well..... smart guys..
