To clarify the issue of permits came up in two separate conversations with locals both on the WA side of the GCR. The conversations were quite interesting and wide ranging and were focussed on getting our thoughts and
feedback on a number of issues. So I found nothing wrong with being asked a question along the lines of "So how did you find the online permit system to use and could it be improved?" As I had raised several issues for improvement at
Laverton VIC when we visited there and found them
well received I thought nothing of it and still don't.
We've travelled the GCR around 6 times over the last few years and have found the communities we have spent time in to be interested in looking at ways to try and slow travellers down and have them spend time in the galleries and other
places of interest.
We also had our permits checked whilst travelling the RioTinto Rail access road to
Python Pool. Again we have done this trip several times and only ever been stopped for a chat but that has the same intent especially if its one of the security utes. Still nothing about such actions has ever concerned me as we always do the right thing
