FTF at 1030 on a good winters day. I attempted this one once before. After not following where the GPSr wanted me to go as the road did not exist in reality. The last time I got to within 200meters of where GZ should have been but the track was washed out and I do not have a 4WD and it was raining so I did not do the walk. This time the track was dry and if you drive slowly and to the road conditions you can get all the way to GZ in a 2WD. Once you arrive there is this massive Forestry fire Watch Tower with Prohibited entry signs on it. The GPSr took me to a post right in the centre of the Triangular base of the legs of the tower. The actual trig point must be way up on the roof of the structure at the top. If you have a 4wd you should be albe to access this via Bum Bum Creek Road but the signs on this road state Dry weather access only but when i had a look it was pretty damp so I attacked by the taking the East Cooyer Road exit off the New England Highway that is closest to Bum Bum Creek road and then drove along an unsigned good gravel track along the ridge line till i entered the forestry. Have fun.TFTC
