Locals have disrupted Stage 1 of the Repco Car Rally, a key stage of the World Rally Championship, by pulling down fences, letting cattle onto the track, putting rocks on the track, laying on the track. Their actions have forced the rally to be abandoned.
What has so incensed the locals and those further afield is that the rally was staged to pass through a highly sensitive wildlife area. The rally organisers have been condemned for an event that would have damaged the environment and frightened the wildlife.
