Bicentennial National Trail

Interested in the BNTs in the New England region and I have a few questions :
1. Are 4WDs allowed onto any parts of the BNT? I could only find references to horses and walkers.
2. A Google reveals a guidebook (Killarney to Ebor) for $40. Does anyone have this and if so is it of any use?
Any other info would be much appreciated.
Thanks from the Moose.

Moose ,

The following extract comes from the Bicentennial Trail Website
......................................................................................
'Who cannot use the Trail?" '

"The trail has not been designed for any form of motorised transport such as four wheel drive vehicles or trail bikes as it passes through areas of private property and government reserves that do not allow vehicular access.
As the trail relies on the good will of the private property owners and government departments for continued access, we ask that people with four wheel drives and motorbikes to respect their wishes and not attempt to follow the trail. Loss of access to a single area would sever the entire trail and have a devestating impact on the viability of the trail."

There is a small section of the BNT on the Apsley end that follows the road, but this is not 4wd area, you can drive the family car along it.Suggest you Google West Kunderang. There are large areas of forestry tracks in the state forest to the north & west of Kunderang.
West Kunderang is a wonderful base for these tracks.
Have a look in the archives, there was a EO gathering there in late Jan this year.
