.....I assume everyone gen get to Captains flat so from there
Head east 9.5km on Captains Flat Rd(towards Braidwood)and turn right to South Forest Rd .
Head south 14.7km and turn/veer right onto South Forest Rd (same road )
Head southwest 2.5km and turn right to Cowangerong Fire Trail
Head north 1.5km and turn left to Tumanang Trail
Head west 1.6km and turn left into driveway (top gate)
keep driving till you reach paradise...LOL
Now, all tracks are sign posted and I will also put up "NissanPatrol.com.au"signs
If coming from Braidwwod you would go down Cooma Rd then onto Captains Flat Rd then you would be turning left onto South Forest Rd . The turn off is 40km from Braidwood.
Let me know if its not easy to understand and I'll punch you in the neck...LOL...just kidding let me know:)
ps I have a nice PDF map but its 6.8mb so if you want it send me a PM with email addy
^^^^^Forkn WHAT??^^^
I know for a fact there is some awesome driving at Captains Flat... I made contact with a guy the other week who wants my rifle who lives there and wanted me to bring it up so he could buy it throught the rifle club there... might ask him if there are any good places to 4wd..

Sounds like a plan, manQuote:

Yes I know the town well as I stayed there many times as my grandparents lived there for years... the last time I was there was when my wife and I rode Motorcycles on our big holiday during the worst weather in years when the Sydney to Hobart got hit with that cyclone..
I have sent the guy an email but have his number if I need to harass him for details.
Is it roughly a 7 hour drive for us Mexicans?
I reckon more like 8 / 8.5Quote:

I have to sort aircon and the radiator before I attempt this as it can get bloody hot... last year both the day we drove up and return trip were in there 40's...
Pub lunch at captains flat on Friday?Quote:

Wow the guy just got back to me from Captains Flat and remembers my grandad well and even lived in the same street.. He has a tonne of tracks for us to do and I will ring him soon to discuss.
He has mentioned some..... Bendethra on the Deua River or any of those tracks? Wybene Caves, The Big Hole? Clarke Brothers Lookout?
Looks like I have sold my rifle and will bring it up with me and meet the bloke first hand and look over a map with him..... bloody funny him knowing my grandad... Eddy yeah I know Eddy...
I've done these tracks and they are an awesome drive but not too hard at all. More of a turisty drive from memory..Quote:
Originally Posted by Bloodyaussie

There's 40kg of gold burried somwhere as it was never found after the Braidwood robbery...bring your detectors gents:)
Campertrailers make it in?Quote:
