Anybody been there lately? Thinking about going there this weekend, but not sure what it is like. I'll be travelling alone, will wet tracks be a problem?
Cheers

Jacka,
Wet tracks can be a problem there, it is mostly clay/
rock and it has steep sections...
What will you be driving?
I'll be around the area too depending on the weather...

Don't worry about the tracks being wet as it is very close to the Warragamba Catchment, and we all know that rain wont fall in the catchment.
Now for the real comment. The area can be a handfull in wet, but you will get a fair idea of the conditions on the way in. If you were in company there would be no probs

Been there twice. Once when the tracks were wet after a storm and some good rain and it was slippery with plenty of fallen trees. Last time was dry and no problem. Not sure about the current conditions.

Been there Twice. once bone dry, the last time was in october 2003, we got there in terrential rain and thunderstorms. If its wet best thing to do is
camp at the sink cause its closer to
the entrance from the western end. keep it nice and slow and you should be right. We copped rain all night. suprised the tent held up quit
well. Next day sun came out, because its very hilly terrain, water runs off and tracks dry up quick so we able to do pretty much do the whole park, and the best thing was no dust. If its dry silent creek is a nice place to
camp and the beach is good to stop for a cuppa.
