Logs for rhysoshea
16-Jan-15
Track has degraded a fair bit since our last visit in Jan 2013. We followed a few rock cairn routes which on our way back (on the main track) turned out to be false as this main one was more worn, taped and cairned but not always straight off the exposed rocks sections. We set up some big cairns at the main exits off the rocks.
The main thing is that they have taken a dozer through the track leading from the fence line (which was 4wd track previously but gradually turned into single track) which now leads to a false dead end as they have gone over and past the single track. We put quite a substantial cairn there as there are tags and a cairn but another 30meters in. Other than this it remains still a difficult but no where near impossible track. To stay on the trail is hard as it's often got a well worn pad but overgrown shrubs but a simple look at the map means that overall navigation to the cache isn't that difficult.
Only saw one snake today which was quite low. Chatted to the farmer at the yards (where you park) and he was quite chatty and interested in the hike (I was always worried that we were inconveniencing them when I've gone previously).
