AN incident of graffiti was reported to Bright Police last Wednesday by Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMV) after four trees and a sign were vandalised in the state forest.
At some time between the afternoon of Monday, January 21 and the following morning, unknown persons have attended Dungey’s Track, Freeburgh and posted the offensive graffiti.
The sign is located at the start of Dungey’s Track, past the cattle grid at the end of Snowy Creek Road, at the entry to the State Forest.
Three of the trees are located 100 metres along the track and another tree was vandalised a further 100 metres down the path.
"Forest Fire Management Victoria had contractors undertaking maintenance grading works on Dungey’s Track, which commenced on Monday, January 20," Senior Constable, Mindy Stewart of the Bright police said.

"The contractors observed the graffiti on the sign and trees when they arrived on site on Tuesday morning.
"The persons responsible appear to have an issue with the work being done by the graders in the area," Sen Con Stewart said.
"However, this senseless damage to the tress and state property effects everyone using the area and doesn’t achieve anything.
"It’s an extremely immature crime to commit."
Police are appealing to the public to find any witnesses to this incident.
