| | | | | | With the Federal Election a few weeks away, members should be aware that there is a real danger of the Greens getting control of the Federal Senate because of the favourable preference deal they struck with the Australian Labour Party. Simply put, a vote for Labour in the Senate "above the line" (which requires voters to number just one box for Labour on the large white ballot paper) increases the chances of helping the Greens hold the balance of power.
In conjunction with the Combined Firearms Council of Victoria, we are encouraging our members to protect their recreation by putting Greens last.

Unfortunately, the planned alternative vehicle access via Boys Camp Road is also compromised and not useable in the short term due to a contractors crane incident.At this stage vehicle access to the work centre is via McCarthy Spur Road to the North- West either go via Loch Valley to Gunns Road, hence to McCarthy Spur Road or alternatively up Camp Creek Road to McCarthy Spur Road and down.Foot access is available by the little bridge over Latrobe River at the bottom of Loch Crescent.

| | | | | | | TEMP CLOSURE OF UNAMED TRACK TOBACCO FLAT | | |
| This track is closed due to safety reasons, to avoid vehicle damage an in order to protect the environment. The un-named track provides the only access from the South to popular informal campsites at Tobacco Flat in State Forest also referred to as the "Intermediate Flat" by the locals. It has a bog-hole approximately 80m on an un-named track (100m long) located off Howqua Hill track, 5kms south west of Fry's Flat. Tobacco Flat is an attraction for hooligan's particularly 4X4's, mainly due to the challenges the bog-hole provides.
