Its been a long time coming but things have started to move past the "ready, steady ..." to the "go" for our Trail!
We have been frustrated by long delays from certain quarters, but following some "intervention" this appears to have been resolved and we have now established great cooperation with that entity and are hopeful of completion in access agreements in the next couple of weeks.
On the flip side, access to the CAC in Bindoon has been withdrawn by the new operating authority the Edmund Rice Education Authority. This comes after four years of fantastic understanding with the school principals, the farm manager and staff at the College, and the PTF thanks the College Community for their past enthusiasm. However, the powers that be have decided that we can no longer use that route so an alternative has been sought .... and found ... and found to be EVEN BETTER!
We are very excited about the new route as it does away with the need for prior permissions to cross private land. It also extends the walk by about another 15 to 20 km making it an even greater walk than before!
We are currently in the process of exploring the route, marking it and photographing it too.
Finally: in the next few weeks we will be moving to our new Webpage which is currently being built. So keep an eye out for
www.pilgrimtrail.com.au
its going to be fantastic.
