That site is a joke, it says there roads closed everywhere and last updated was a year ago. anyway back from my little camping trip and was gifted by the gods to rain the entire times :( creek crossings were ok, really need a snorkel for them, hills were very steep and slippy. also a few of the good tracks had a few trees fall so currently not accessible but i had a word with the rangers there and they said their going to get it all cleaned up within the next few months :)

Hey jonno, we always carry a chainsaw when going onto tracks we haven't driven for a while. Clear the logs we can (within reason). It's a good practice as it means your less likely to get blocked in and also it frees up the rangers a bit (hell, they might even have time to update their website! Lol)

I normaly do carry a chainsaw, but forgot it in my rush to pack after work. O well installed my lift today so its one less thing for me to worry about.

hey mate, could you duck over to the introductions section please, tell us about yourself and your rig, you will find that current members are more willing to help and answer you questions, no harm done

Cheers

As above champ, and in the state forest which is now open to 4x4.

Watch out for gate closures though. I did an all-day drive with a local 4x4 club and we came across two locked gates that were not mentioned on the DERM website, which meant a huge detour and we were lucky to get out of the forest by nightfall. Not good with carloads of families and food/water just about exhausted.
