3. Exclude competitive horse riding events from Dryandra (eg. gymkhanas and cross country riding. 13.9 CAR AND MOTORBIKE EVENTS BACKGROUND Car and motorbike events may vary from casual, social outings to highly competitive events requiring expert driving and navigational skills and the use of specially equipped vehicles. Competitive motorbike trail-riding and car rallies have been permitted in the Woodlands in the past. ISSUES • Competitive events can damage roads, disturb other visitors, cause road deaths of wildlife, and lead to the deterioration of vegetation affected by dust along the roadsides. These impacts are inconsistent with the primary purpose of protecting Dryandra's conservation values. • There are no other areas on CALM lands in the Wheatbelt Region where these activities are permitted; however, there are alternative sites on private and other lands. OBJECTIVE 4. Protect the Dryandra Woodland environment from the impacts of competitive car rallies and other motor sports. STRATEGIES 1. Exclude competitive car rallies and other motor sports from Dryandra Woodland. 2. Encourage groups wishing to conduct social vehicle rallies to contact CALM for approval and planning of the event. 3. Direct social rallies away from areas of high conservation value, or popular recreation sites where there is a possibility of a nuisance being created to other visitors. 51
13.10 FISHING BACKGROUND Fishing for Redfin (Perca fluviatillus) and Yabbies (Cherax destructor albidus) are popular activities at both Old Mill Dam and Congelin Dam during the warmer months. There is no size limit on Redfin, although a recreational fishing licence is required and a bag limit of 40 fish per angler per day applies. There are no size or bag limits on Yabbies, and a licence is not required. ISSUES 10. Fishing for Redfin and Yabbies is an established recreational activity in Old Mill Dam and Congelin Darn. OBJECTIVE 4. Provide opportunities for recreational fishing of Redfin and Yabbies at Dryandra. STRATEGY 1. Allow recreational fishing for Redfin and Yabbies at Old Mill Dam and Congelin Dam in accordance with the relevant Fisheries Department regulations. 14. TOURISM AND COMMERCIAL VISITOR SERVICES BACKGROUND Tourism Dryandra Woodland is one of the central wheatbelt's three tourist attractions. In 1990-1991 there were approximately 29 000 visitors to Dryandra Woodland (CALM 1991c), of which approximately 5000 visitor nights were spent at the Settlement. This compares with estimated annual visitor numbers of 117 000 at Wave Rock (Hibbs et al. 1994), 12 000 at Lake Dumbleyung, and 3000 at Boyagin Rock (CALM 1991c), all of which are located in the central wheatbelt. Although the structure of the vegetation lacks the dimensions of the typical forest tourist attractions in the south-west of the State, Dryandra is still the key bushland resource in the central wheatbelt, and 52
