A Ride for Many Appetites...

The APY Lands Rights Act 1981 provides for a fine of up to $2,000 and $500 a day for any continuing offence for persons on the lands without a permit. It is also an offence to bring alcohol onto the APY lands and the Police are specifically empowered to inspect and confiscate vehicles. Being on the lands without a permit is trespass and Police involvement should not be a surprise. If you are a regular traveller of the road you may look at doing a spot of fossicking to be a legitimate visitor. No licence is required for fossicking in SA but you do need approval of the landowner via a permit with the purpose being fossicking.

Drone use in Burma near their Parliament House resulted in 2 months jail for journalists. Some times taking things seriously is better than the alternative.

So....has anyone ever been charged or fined??? I have travelled GCRoad several times with the Permits but have NEVER been asked to produce them even though i have had contact with Police while in transit (put on the bag, licence check etc).

Drone use...I left mine at home when cycling Sri Lanka because research indicated they don't take their use lightly.

Can not find evidence of prosecutions but the SA Premier visited the APY Lands in mid July this year which may have prompted the action on permits.

There is a major road upgrade project about to start....probably ruin it as far as AdvRiding goes. I like pushing limits and boundaries. I'll probably still risk it. It could make an interesting talking point if i get busted again.

FWIW
Having applied for, and been granted, 100's of Entry Permits to Aboriginal Lands over the years, and to create a possible worst case scenario, if travelling on land where a permit is required by law and you do not hold a permit (trespass), and in the event an accident, whether that be a solo or multiply accident involving a vehicle/s or person/s, you could be deemed uninsured. If a death were to occur .......................

Geez bwanainoz, you really know how to bring the mood down. If it happens, and your with me, go thru my pockets, take anything of value, and throw some dirt over me.

[bwanainoz]

Food for thought, to provide a different tack that was not being considered which if not considered could produce unwitting dire consequences. If I am travelling with you and the unexpected does occur, I will act upon your instructions.
