In the early 2000's there was a threat to us by the Greens, the Parks and Dse to close all the forests and lock them up to only walkers and kangaroos. There was a lot of meetings between "stake holders", what ever they are, and myself and other club members attended various group meetings. In the end I think it was just tooo hard and wasn't going to win votes, and it all faded away. Though we changed a bit too. Gone were the noisy exhausts and the riding population generally got a bit more responsible.
Anyway here is the account of one of those days!
