Er, I thought we were talking about birding. I certainly don't go out
collecting firewood.
And as I said below, I only use existing tracks. I have no time for
those who go bashing across virgin scrub. They are the idiots who only
make it difficult for others.

Unfortunately, places with a colder Winter climate such as Orange suffer
from illegal woodcarting from people who won't leave that "useless
hollow
log" standing or laying on the ground. With the explosion of city based
4x4
drivers they are going further afield to collect there own wood. They
think
it is fun to make their owm roads by belting through virgin bush.The
once
pristine untouched rough bush tracks are now being cleared. It is
getting
harder to find birds in there natural untouched eviroment. Many hectares
of
state forests surround Orange but again illegal weekend woodcarters are
clearing up anything burnable.
