Hey guys,
Planning to spend a few days/nights up around Rubicon S/F camping and hitting trails with some mates this weekend and I'm just wondering if anyone has ben up there in the last week or so?
I've had a look at the DSE/Parks map and it's showing a bunch of early track closures.
If you have been up there, how were the conditions.
We're gonna have two GQ's (2" lift and 33's) and a lifted Dmax, we all have winches, recovery gear, chainsaws and all that stuff but if it's gonna be a swamp I wanna pack some extra jocks and my floaties, haha.
Cheers,
Pete.

with the weather the way it has been id suggest that
you ring DES/PARKS before you head up thier site is not always
up to date due to them being busy at this time of year
there might be more closures since

Yeah no worries will give them a call then, was just looking to see if there was anyone who could advise what it's like on the ground.
Am thinking it's gonna be pretty boggy.

Well, called the DSE on Monday to ask about track closures like a fine upstanding citizen/taxpayer should, the guy I was supposed to talk to wasn't in but was due back, they took my name and number and I have heard absolutely nothing.
I dunno if I'm more disappointed in them for not calling back, or myself for believing they would, lol.

Hi, at this time of year there are quite a few tracks closed in the Rubicon!!
A woodland in full color is awesome as a forest fire, in magnitude at least, but a single tree is like a dancing tongue of flame to warm the heart.

Rubicon is my old stomping ground. I lived in Thornton for 17 years and used to swim in the Rubicon A swimming pool.
Went back there about a month ago and still don't regret the move to WA over 30 years ago. I don't miss the snow and rain and hail and wind and.... and.... and... lol
Take care out there.
