A group is going Saturday(17th) from the Navara Forum some of the member have asked if the patrol forum wanted to tag along. They are meeting at 8:00am. I am still waiting on the location. I haven't been there myself but have seen some of the video from their last trip and it looks good.

It's a good spot but policed very often. once you go in have some fun when it's time to leave one person go out and make sure the police haven't set up booking everyone leaving. Last time I went there they were there so we didn't go in and they said radio your friend to leave or you'll get fines

The main rd/track is apparently a legal gazetted road, it is 100% a actual road at the start ,it just happens to turn to dirt 3/4s of the way down ,no signage to dictate the road ends that ive seen.

Can't say ive heard the same for all the side tracks, and going through fences would be a no-no for sure.




Some of the guys on the Navara forum may have more info, i may be interested in tagging along, hope you can find out "the facts" about legalities etc, please keep us informed

that's correct that it is a proper road but once you enter the bush it's a no no. Would be 2 months ago we tried ans they were booking everyone coming out. things like illegal mods being covered in mud (lights and poor viability plus if you leave trials on the road that's pollution etc. Just scout out the place and should be fine guys

He spends the day recovering them.

Thought I would go and check out this stop before organising a real trip here. excellent venue. still not sure about the legality. but wow great place. we didn't even explore 20% of the place. couple of group areas for showing off.(if you are into that) heaps for tracks.

Here are a few pics. hoping to get some video soon.

Almost rolled this one
