Vehicles should be banned from driving on beaches. Change my mind.

    Nah, I’m good.

    I don’t care if beaches are roads. My point is that beaches should not be roads.

    I was over on Moreton Island recently and walking south of the resort. Didn’t see any of your claimed warning signage. Just utes and 4wds tearing the shit out of the beach from the water line up to where the trees start. A beautiful beach in a beautiful spot away from all the crowds but I’ve got to be watching my kids like a hawk to make sure some idiot doesn’t kill one of them and then try to blame me for daring to walk with my kids down to the sand dunes.

    I don’t care if it’s legal, it shouldn’t be. Why does everything have to be turned into yet more space exclusively for vehicles. Especially pristine beaches.

      There are very few beaches you can go to where vehicles are also allowed. Your interests are not exclusively reign to all of them over other people’s interests. You literally have hundreds of other options, most of them better. Learn to accept other people and the things they enjoy and you need but share just a bit with them is all. if you can’t tolerate others, just don’t go there. They’re tolerating you and your kids without complaint.

      The Australian coastline is not yours and not everyone is you.

      I’d also advise that if you’re going to one of the nation’s most iconic 4×4 locations that is 95% only accessible by 4×4s, don’t be upset if you see 4×4s there and suddenly have to parent. That’s entirely your decision, your situation, your issue. I don’t go to Perisher and get upset there’s skiiers hooning down.
