Illegal..but so much fun..i was told that your not officially allowed on the beach unless your bike has a road rego. Know someone that was caught and was issued with a 2 year trespass notice from Woodhill.

Its like any private piece of land, you need permission to go on it.
If you don't then it is illegal.
And do you want to risk that a flag has just fell down or they have forgot to put one up?

Also I guess you wouldnt actually wanna be there mashing around when the army is actually there doing stuff. I remember hiding out in the forest that borders the bombers when some army trucks went past

It's Doc/Defence land and your vehical can get confiscated. There's also a risk that there may be some live ordenance scattered about. When I was a young armorer there was always talk from the old NCOs about an unexploded 1000 pounder dropped from a Canberra that's never been located.

Enter at your own risk. Don't go crying to the media if your tyres get shredded by shratnel.

Yeah I thought it was a no go and was not planning to go there.

Well they still want to go. I kinda hope that they get into some kind of shit because they think they can do as they want when they please, maybe it'l wake them up.

Pay $25 and ride the sandpit.

As above. Defence property and you can be stopped by any of the personnel based or operating up there.

Shrapnel through a tyre would be one of the risks' involved.

I still have some photo's somewhere of detonating 1000lbs of life expired munitions. Shrapnel would have traveled far and wide...

If you can't read the sign and comprehend what the area is, then you have no business being there.

And because it's military land it is subject to military law - which is not the same as civilian law .... anyone caught there could be in deep dodo ... (apart from the obvious hazards)

If you need a rego to go on it now then that's the perfect excuse for me to get a motard.

Don't be going on the weekend May 28-29 as we have the range booked and you'll get blown up or shot.

Nah the Army always posts sentries on all the entrances when live firing is happening. If you do manage to get on the range, you'll be spotted by more sentries, they will shut down the training, hunt you down and smash you.
