Title: please read advice from fwd vic Post by: Peter E on December 09, 2009, 03,29:03 AM the first part is pretty serious stuff, please advise other riders who maybe going to ride over christmas in the pinnacles/dargo area of the closure. thanks peter e We have been advised that there has been an unlawful major chemical dump of Arsenic contaminants on the Gibbs Access Track. This is deemed to be a life threatening situation which is being attended to by DSE as we speak. We would ask people to keep clear of this area until further notice. Please advise everybody of this urgent matter. If you have any information in relation to this unlawful act, please contact us at Four Wheel Drive Victoria urgently. Also: We have received notification of a Track Closure in the Alpine National Park from Ranger Richard Laurier at Heyfield office. The grid reference for Dairy Farm Flat Track near Castle Hill and South of the Pinnacles is: Easting 050360 Northing 5849800 The track closure is proposed due to it going through the centre of a damaged peat land that requires rehabilitation. The closure would not limit access to anywhere; apart from the track itself, as a ridge-top track not far to the East runs parallel to Dairy Farm Flat Track and links up to the same roads/tracks North and South of it. We are still in the planning stage, we are seeking feedback in relation to this track closure, and we will inform you with further information as it comes to hand. Thank you |
