Below is a preview, click to read the full post. From the Rangers: MtBikeTrail Info
Please be advised that from Monday 15 June maintenance work will begin on sections of the Manly Dam mountain bike trail. Sections of the trail where work will occur include around Wakehurst Pkwy, Manning Road and Wandella Road. The purpose of these works is to maintain and improve access and sustainability of the trail by addressing areas of erosion and sediment movement. The work is expected to be complete in three weeks.

I'm thinking of upgrading the PM module to a newer (and naturally better) version. It changes the way things work to more of a 'chat' model than being similar to email as now.
Trouble is that as this is completely different model there is no upgrade path and will have to clear (delete) all messages in the system.
I notice there's 137 unread messages lying around but over 14,000 in total. NB: privacy advocates can chill out: 'select newmsg, count(*) from privatemsg group by newmsg;' doesn't exactly tell you anything but counts 
Any objections? I would archive the old table of course and be able to pull out anyone's mailbox and email it to them on request.

It seems that someone down in Canberra has come up with a plan to redevelop Majura Parkway and turn from standard 2 lane road into 4 lane (+ shoulders) dual carriageway. Red line on the image here shows where they plan to put the road and the thinner orange line shows where it is now.
Note that the proposed road goes straight through the vineyard and some of the most established and iconic tracks in Majura Pines such as Intestinal Track, Pooklestein, Damn Track, BMX Berms.
While Majura is a working forest and we know one day it will be cleared (in stages, sustainably one would hope) building this road in the proposed location makes no sense. Sure, there are sharp corners to remove further South, but why can't they leave the existing route around the forest and vineyard? It's not like it has any sharp turns or hills there and can easily and safely be driven at the speed limit?
Can't find the submission address right now but will post it up when I do.
You can post your comments to app.sec@act.gov.au. I assume just about anyone here would think cutting Majura Pines up like this is a rather bad idea?!

As we've discussed, this really shouldn't need saying. But for those who can't make their own mind up here it is from the rangers:
The mountain bike trail at Manly Dam is CLOSED due to the recent rain and wet track conditions. The track is completely waterlogged and runoff from the catchment is further adding to the problem. We'll send out a note when we've reopened, but please be aware that it most likely that the trail will be closed until next week.
Please spread the word to others.
Anyone wishing to be added to the mailing list can email us at: mtbiketrailinfo@warringah.nsw.gov.au
Thanks again for your cooperation.
