Traveled from Howitt Plains down Zeka Spur Track 18/11/2020 and was concerned to see state of track approx 3km from Howitt Plains turn-off.
A Deviation has recently been cut replacing a steep downslope which is now closed off.
Regrettably, there are several hairpin turns where it was not possible to execute the hairpin in one turn.
I know that the Nissan Patrol does not have the smallest turning circle, but the need to make 3, 4, or 5 cuts to negotiate a narrow hairpin is a surprise.
One of the hairpins has a natural spring bubbling from the centre of the roadway.
The trip was a recce to
check out track conditions for later when will be towing a 5metre long trailer.
Consequently, I advise against taking a trailer into Wonnangatta by that route unless you are really experienced at sharp turns and reversing uphill on quite soft soil and hope that there will be no traffic in the opposite direction.
Wonnangatta Road and the East Buffalo River route via Mytrleford is in very good condition and quite smooth.
