Captains Flat Rd starts at Kings Hwy near Quenbeyan and runs through Captains Flat going towards Braidwood...Just folow the Braidwood sign out of Captains Flat...LOL
EDIT: The turn off is left at the Rural Fire Station.
Also,To get to the pub you would go right where the sign sais" Jeringle" and the pub is about 200m .

No one has mentioned it but what's the plan if it's a 'Severe' or 'Extreme' Fire Danger Rating over this weekend?
Don't want to be a party popper but I've been involved in a couple of wild fires and have no desire to ever repeat that.
Looks like it's an isolated entry with only one exit:
How clear/safe/fireproof in the camping area?
Is there any type of communications/monitoring of threats available?
Cheers
Jack

Thanks for bringing this up Jack.
I've been paying perticular attention to see what would happen if a severe fire came through and I am confident to say we would be safe in the valley but I can not guarantee that.
It is very green currently and there is predicted 100+mm of rain in the next week and a little more further on.
I have and will again mow everything very short especially around the fire place. I have also slashed a lot of grass further from the camp ground but didn't finish the job as I broke the slasher...LOL
I also have a fire fighting pump with 50m hose in case..
Unfortunatelly, there is only one way in/out to the top gate but from there, there are a number of roads out. Also being up high nearly right on top of Great Dividing range you get to see whats comming. I also have radio reception so we could get updates incase there is a fire.
If the Fire Danger is going to be severe or extreme I will call in to the Captains Falt station to let them know we are having a shindig and organise a UHF channel to monitor.
Time is never wasted when your wasted all the time
