Blue Rag track update

Good advice there.

We had the pleasure of traipsing through the HC some years back sans trailer and were very glad we left it behind. Not having it in tow opened up a plethora of tracks which would have been otherwise inaccessible, due to the hairpin bends which required a 3-point turn to negotiate.

They graded it? Now that is a shame as it was a good track as it was. Oh well on the upside they haven't put a gate across it.

Yep, agree, it was a great track, quite challlenging in places, shame about the grading.
The increased traffic will probably also detract a little from the track but all in all it willl still be a good drive for scenery.

It was graded right after the bushfires, probably so the firies could get in and out quicker if needed. I'd like to see the grader that could grade that track.

I have always wanted to continue on past the Blue Rag trig and go down the other side but never have, last time I was up there, about 10 months ago, there was a giant pile of mud and rocks just past the trig, and a sign saying track closed, that sign is obviously gone now? What else can you tell me about the rest of the track, is it a dead end? or could you get through on a quad bike or a trail bike all the way to Mt Murray??

Bend 27 the track goes past the trig point and decends to a river called i think ...wongungarra.... there are two small camping spots before you cross the river and then an area for perhaps 4 or so campers with swags etc.The river crossing was no more than axel height and perhaps 10/15 metres wide,no problem.

you may not get a camper past the hair pin bend about 3/4 the way down. The track comes to a dead end at the second camping area at the rivers edge.

Please take rubbish out with you not like some previous campers.

The track is in great condition no damage from fires,there are millions of trees that were burnt the trunks and main limbs remain standing like grey silent sentinels on the hillsides,the trees along the river do not appear to have been burnt,can email you photos if you provide email address.

Here is river Xing before the fires , interesting to see what its like now.

Robin the river crossing is virtually unchanged (a couple of new logs in the water,not in the way) the fires did not get to the river or the campsite.
