hi lads
Those people who are fans of State forests like Glass House, Beerwah..... note that old forestry areas used to be owned by the State ander the old Dept Primary Industries. (DPI now called DEEDI)
Well the govt sold off those forest areas to private industry a few years back and changed the lease hold lands to a licenced area. And as a private industry, their focus is on making money and maintaining profits. As such there's talk about closing all the forestry trails as they are causing maintenance issues for the buisness with too many 4wd tearing up the trails.
Those poeple who travel up the Bruce Hwy near Beerwah will know some of the old highway access roads were changed / closed. This has been a result of a lot of 4wders turning off a 100km zone into a mud pit and getting bogged. Then trying to turn into a 100km zone - just not safe. There have been some bad accidents along that stretch of the Bruce Hwy.
We'll see what will change in 2012
