There was only one way out, maybe try to make some new tracks was the answer, so the small tee trees that live in the gully’s water and bog that came up to about our chests were hit full noise in 2nd or 3rd.

Is wrecking the bridge legal, I wonder?

Yes you are right about the facts I am spouting and I admit they are hearsay, however from a source who would know. Also I would say wrecking the bridge would not be legal, It would be a case of individuals breaking the law to circumvent an unfortunate bureaucratic conundrum in order to protect something they believe in. A bit of the old monkey wrenching. I also have to say that in defence of the dirt bikers (not that I do defend their actions) the amount of mining exploration damage in that area is large and could lead some individuals to think" well what does one extra track matter".
I guess I just get really frustrated at the constant erosion of areas that are supposed to be kept for their conservation value and feel that some times a little civil disobedience is required to counteract the pressure caused by industry. The Industry operating down in that area is pretty good at breaking laws themselves and parks are fairly hamstrung by the size, cost and complexity of the organisation they represent and are a part of.
Also I believe nobody in our society is entirely free of blame for the destruction of our natural environment and we do have to be a bit careful pointing fingers.
