G'day Folks,

Forbes will post the official release shortly.

Finally some good news.

Please see the attached file NPWS sent me today. The RVA is back open.

This is good news, however, given the situation, it is imperative people follow the rules and stay inside the RVA.

NPWS warned me all this week that if it was reopened and people where found outside the area it would load their gun.

Inside the RVA you will find 3 or 4 new flagged of areas. It took a great deal of effort to convince them to reopen. If people enter these new off limit zones, it will load their gun. These areas are of course the newly uncovered historical artefacts.

I know it sounds like I’m harping, but the facts now lie before us, if you are caught doing the wrong thing they will impose consequences, and of course load the gun for the consequence which will affect us all.

But back to the good news the beach is reopened as from Saturday morning, 8am. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact NPWS or myself for something minor.

Cheers Brad.
