Off road motorists joyride over protected middens in Tasmania’s Tarkine


Off-road motorists are taking down protective fences to ride roughshod over Aboriginal middens. Video evidence gathered by Senator Whish-Wilson has revealed that some motorists are not just continuing to flout the law by using banned tracks in the 100,000-hectare Arthur Pieman Conservation Area, they are joyriding over middens protected by fences and signs.

Greens Senator Peter Whish-Wilson flew over the Tarkine on Tasmania’s north-west coast looking for evidence of illegal access to banned tracks. While he saw no vehicles during the flyover, he found fresh tracks.
