Given that birders periodically travel along the CSR [to see Princess
Parrots], I thought I would forward the following thread from
ExplorOz ... [I think this post refers to people deviating from the
CSR in the Birriliburu Native Title Determination Area]
.
Regards, Laurie.

ExplorOz - David & Michelle
The ExplorOz office was contact by Central Desert Native Title
Services on 22nd July 2010 with a request to publish that the Canarvon
Ranges are closed to travellers - strictly NO ACCESS. We were provided
with a release dated 30/6/10 to clarify, which reads as follows:
The Birriliburu Native Title Determination covers part of the Canning
Stock
Route (“CSR”) including Wells 5-15.
While the historical activity on the CSR has varied over the years,
the steady
increase in tourist traffic has become a significant issue for the
Birriliburu
Native Title Holders. In recent times there has been much discussion
between the Birriliburu Native Title Holders and other land holding
groups
along the length of the CSR about the proper management of tourism. To
date these discussions have been dominated by the issue of access to
country adjacent to the CSR.
The Birriliburu Native Title Holders recognize that there is a great
degree of
interest from travellers wanting to learn more about the country and the
people who ‘hold’ the country traversed by the CSR. The Birriliburu
Native
Title Holders understand that many of the requests to visit places
like the
Canarvon Ranges are made by travellers who are genuinely interested in
the
history, traditions and stories of the Martu people.
At present the Birriliburu Native Title Holders manage the access to the
Birriliburu Native Title Determination Area through their newly
incorporated
organisation ‘Mungarlu Ngurrarankatja Rirraunkatja’ (“MNR”). MNR are
in the
process of developing a detailed land access permit system and
management
strategy for the Birriliburu Native Title Determined Area. Until such
time as
the permit system is developed, the Birriliburu Native Title Holders
request
that travellers please observe the conditions of the CSR transit
permit and do
not travel off the CSR while in the Birriliburu Native Title
Determined Area
(including the Canarvon Ranges)
Please be aware that Central Desert Native Title Services does not issue
general access permits for the CSR and all enquiries should go to
through the
Australian National Four Wheel Drive Club; www.anfwdc.asn.au.

Area please
