Title: Urgent notification for those who ride in the Wombat area Post by: Ian Robinson on December 08, 2009, 06,35:49 AM Got this email from FWDV today, please read below.
Sorry for the confusion - Gibbs Access track is located in Wombat State Forest ________________________________________ From: Suzie Christan Sent: Tuesday, 8 December 2009 2:04 PM Subject: FWDV - URGENT NOTIFICATION OF TRACKS Importance: High 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 |
