Gum Tree access
Found out why Gumtree Was locked up at Easter Time this year.
Apparently sometime last year or early this year, 25 or so people blocked off the launching area and surrounding tracks, to have the whole area all to themselves, complete blockage. Complaints went to both Shire's and the result was lock out over Easter and maybe future long week ends, school holidays. This came from the Leeman Ranger today. Why do selfish people (minority) ruin it for the majority of good fisho's either land based or boaties.
Everybody that was camped for Easter at Illawong & Dumper Bay did the right thing and left the whole area spotless, excellent job to those campers/fisho's. There are good people in this world that leave areas clean for future people to use.

Yeah we dive the beagles alot aswell. we got told it will only be closed on long weekends and that sort of thing as it just gets to crowded during those times. the ranger said it should be open all other times.

Yes it is when we went past last Wednesday from Geraldton. Excellent spot to launch for the Beagles, can see them for the shore line. Good tracks also to the beach area, when no weed can drive all the way to Nobby Head from memory.

selfish pigs
have seen the pics from xmas.
feral pigs blocked beach access by erecting fence from dunes all the way to water lince, including hessian wind fencing, completely blocking beach access, left their rubbish , lit fires
during a fire ban
blocking out everyone is lazy management by the council, but unfortunately the rest of us pay the price from a selfish few
