Stockton Beach Protest
There is a planned protest regarding the camping ban and dune closures at Stockton Beach on 2 February at 9am. Mainly the fear that they will use the storms in June as an excuse to close the dunes for good. The meeting place is Pitt Street, Stockton. More details can be found here. I will be doing my best to attend.
Would be good if we could get some other X-trailers out there.
The original plan was to drive in convoy from Newcastle to Maitland but I'm not 100% on the details now. It may just be a gathering in the park or a shorter drive.

Nope, not OK!
If you want to protest, do so as an individual and keep the forum out of it please.

Re: Stockton Beach Protest
No worries post edited. Leave the X-Trail forum flags at home people.
Would be nice if others that are on this forum that have complained about Stockton being closed made the effort to do something about it and make their voices heard somewhere it counts. I will be there for sure.

Re:
Thread moved to the road closures section of the forum.
Please note that there is a high chance that protestors will be faced with angry holidaying patrons of the caravan park where this protest is taking place.
I have already received an email to the admin mailbox from a concerned family who paid heaps to have a wedding done at the caravan park that day and I don't think this family will be sharing your "enthusiasm".
Please be considerate of the comfort of other families and residents in the area!
Who's organising this protest anyway? Is there a contact person from the 4WD association that is responsible for the safety of protestors on the day or is just a "be there" type of protest that is un-coordinated and un-supervised?

Re: Stockton Beach Protest
Jalal it is meant only to be a show of numbers. There will not be any chanting or that sort of carry on. It is being organised by 4WD Action Magazine, in particular 'Roothy'. You can watch the local news story here.
You can tell the holidaying families we will departing the area at 11am so disturbance to them will be as minimal as possible. Same obviously goes for the wedding. We should be all gone before they even arrive.

Re:
I am referring all enquiries to John Rooth's Facebook page which has the details and he can answer those concerns/questions.

Re:
Just wanted to draw some attention to this thread/random public occurence.. (Careful enough choice of words, Jalal?)
I will be attending tomorrow as well if anyone is thinking of going. Aside from the chance to meet Roothy and the team, I'm looking forward to all the assembled four-wheel drives - standard and modified alike, oh and the looks my exy is no-doubt going to get while I'm there, haha. As an Australian four-wheel driver (not a forum member) come and protest "the locking up of our country" and support other responsible four-wheel drivers like ourselves in ensuring everyone can still enjoy the stunning and adventurous experiences our beautiful countryside has to offer.
Pitt St Reserve, Stockton. Be there or don't!

Re:
Ian, as ironic that it may sound, but people like Roothy are to blame for these sort of closures.
Easy enough to make videos showing everyone how to get to the out of reach places but unknowingly invite the small percentage to rip up the landscape.
Sorry but people like Roothy are bad news for 4wdrivers.

Re: Stockton Beach Protest
I couldn't agree more Tony. But in this case I don't think its about him. It's about supporting a good cause. To be perfectly honest I think Roothy is a knob but I really want Stockton to reopen.
