This message has been received from Monaro Acclimatisation Society. The gate has been installed due to anti-social behaviour occurring at Paddy’s Corner.

As agreed at a MAS general meeting last year a new gate has been placed at the entrance to Paddys Corner Reserve on the Thredbo River just below the Gaden Hatchery.  Due to the number of people camping at the Reserve during the snow season it was agreed to install the gate and restrict vehicle access to the reserve during the snow season to deter the camping, fires and defecation in the Reserve.  Members need to be aware that the Reserve gate will be open for the entire trout season and only closed when the Thredbo River closes to fishing.  The reserve is open to foot access at all times.  The Crackenback Trust is the MAS Trust for Reserves.

Due to the damage done over the past snow seasons we will need to seek options to have the access road and reserve roads repaired.
