[talk-au] "Illegal", & "asked to be closed" tracks?

[cleary]

In regard to second link which refers to a private road on Crown land :  

Crown land is not the same as public land. There are many areas of government-owned land that are closed to the public.  The land may be reserved or dedicated for particular purposes that are best served by exclusion of the public. Or land may be leased so that the leaseholder has exclusive access for the duration of the lease.  Thus a private road on Crown land would not be open to the public.

In my view, the fact that the Council-maintained road appears to cease at the point where the "private road" commences supports the view that it is probably private.  

Many roads in western NSW are on Crown land that is leased by farmers. The farm roads are private and not open to the public.
