Changes have recently been made for accessing pastoral leased land. A flyer has been produced by the South Australian Association of Four Wheel Drive Clubs (SAAFWDC) to better inform members of the touring public about the nature of the leases and the requirements and full responsibilities for those wishing to traverse them.
