Four wheel driving is a
legitimate family recreational activity. However, there are some extremist groups that
want all the Australian bush (National Parks, State Forests, etc) locked up and the keys
thrown away. Access to our valuable bush would be by walking and canoeing only. This would
be great if everybody in the community was young and fit but it effectively means that the
majority of the population will be restricted from using their traditional camping and
recreational areas. |

|
The lockup
mentality of these minority groups will only serve to destroy the Australian bush as fire
trails will become overgrown restricting fire fighting abilities, noxious weeds will
spread uncontrolled, and feral animals will reproduce totally uncontrolled to the
detriment of native animals.

| If you own a 4WD vehicle do the
right thing and join a Club associated with the Recreational
Four Wheel Drive Clubs Assoc. of NSW & ACT (Inc) and learn how your chosen recreation of 4WD'ing and responsible
environmental protection can co-exist. The 4WD Club scene is a great starting point to meet people who have
similar interests to you. Most Club Members enjoy camping, 4WD'ing, bushwalking, Aussie
birdlife and wildlife, sitting around the campfire for a chat in the evening, and a whole
host of other activities. |

It was steeper

If you have a 4WD why not join a
Club and learn the environmentally friendly way to enjoy your chosen recreational
activity. |
