The permit you can obtain from Pound Bend, unfortunately they are only open on week days. There is no cost, and they assure me that if you visit once and fill it out in person, they will allow you to fax it in, in the future.

Same permit as You Yangs, maybe VVC can get there Access Officer to work out some email system. Remember though, you need a reply for the permit to be OK.

Off topic but still on permits, we were climbing Hawthorne bridge on Sunday and were asked by the City inspectors if we had permits to climb there, liability is getting to be a big issue with everyone, I think as a climbing community we may have to be more pro-active regarding this issue and go to them with a permit/disclaimer that can be emailed if anyone wishes to climb. A sign on sight can inform prospective climbers.
