We have been advised that there has been an unlawful major chemical dump of Arsenic contaminants on the Gibbs Access Track located in the Wombat State Forest.
This is deemed to be a life threatening situation which is being attended to by DSE as we speak.
We would ask people to keep clear of this area until further notice.
Please advise everybody of this urgent matter.
If you have any information in relation to this unlawful act, please contact us at Four Wheel Drive Victoria urgently.

FWD Vic have received notification of a Track Closure in the Alpine National Park from Ranger Richard Laurier at Heyfield office.
The grid reference for Dairy Farm Flat Track near Castle Hill and South of the Pinnacles is: Easting 050360 Northing 5849800
The track closure is proposed due to it going through the centre of a damaged peat land that requires rehabilitation. The closure would not limit access to anywhere; apart from the track itself, as a ridge-top track not far to the East runs parallel to Dairy Farm Flat Track and links up to the same roads/tracks North and South of it.
