After finding both Milkshakes and Neasy Trigs thought I'd take a look at the more direct route off Holder Rd.
The Tea Tree scrub had grown vigorously after fires back in 2016...being 3m plus high.
Left Holder Rd at S41 05.092 W145 11.802
It was pretty tough going cutting a very rough track...just enough to push through.
It was agonising slow progress and halfway up was about to turn around and come back another day.
Had a rest and pushed on hoping the scrub would be less thick near the top...but no go...100m from Trig it got thicker and didn't open up until 40m from the Trig.
Omg...Great to see the Trig still standing but near covered by scrub.
Took required photo's then headed down with energy reserves depleted.
Still took 30min to cover the 420m back to the geofourby.
A hugely satisfying trek to revisit 3 Trigs on the same day and to remember all the hard work put in as a Surveyor locating a large system of roads from when I first started work out here 50yrs ago.
Cheers ST.
