Bridle Track Update

Michael I had been following this up for a number of years (as I am local) and I thought the injection of funds would kick the effort back to life. I guess it's a difficult job and the council keeps putting it on the back burner without a serious look at the problem of fixing the track. More to come; hopefully.

Hi Axle - You are right that the fix will be difficult, but, there has been no proposals or suggestions from the engineers to give us some hope. I assumed the govt injection of funds was an indication 'the how to' had been resolved, apparently it hasn't. There is an alternative route via Root Hog Rd fire trail but I haven't been out there to check it out as there had been problems with one of the property owners where the access road crosses his boundary.
Seems his objections were only raised after abuse of his property by reckless 4WD users and BRCouncil resolved this issue a couple of years ago, and, I haven't bothered to check it out - makes me as bad as them - so today I am going to check it out, with the bride in tow as she is busting to get on the road again. I'll check back in later in the day.

Regards PH & Fiona

There's proper access through Root Hog now. The road had a fence along it with warnings to stick to it. If the river comes up then you can't get through.

Correct and apparently the access has been there for quite a while now, so we drove it today as far as the river crossing.
Didn't go any further as we went out late in the afternoon and I didn't want to miss the footy. Couldn't resist going all the way to Hill End once we crossed.
I didn't get any pics this time as the day was overcast and full of bad light (that's what I told Fiona) she does not want to go back as there were a few other 4B's in the area at the time and it got a bit hairy. So I get to go again in the next week to get some good pics.
