I'm not complaining for myself, as I spent many "scungy" years in the South-West (and elsewhere) enjoying the privilege of wilderness. These days it's a different story! Any solution to the problem of making these areas more accessible will not benefit from attempts (albeit well-meaning) to keep Tassie in "pristine" state (even if that were possible!)

How far do we have to go in order to provide 'universal' access?
There are always going to be things that some people can't do, and places that some people won't be able to get to. Maybe it's time everyone just grew up and learned to accept their own limitations?
