Hi all,
just came back from Marysville and
Woods Point this weekend, and I would like to say that it is completely blocked with fallen timber. Tracks were cleared fairly recently, however even more trees have fallen since. And we are talking two meter diameter trees.
Spent three hours getting through about half a kilometer on one track, and was informed by some trail bikes to not even bother, as it got worse further on, and that both the tracks leading off from there were not possible, even for trail bikes. They were not sure if they would have enough fuel to get back into any town. Just about every track was blocked, and it looked like some sort of a bombing range.
Cheers

I was at
Tallarook (Vic) on the weekend. Every track I drove on had trees down (some of the big ones had been cleared, but a lot hadn't). Seems to be a common theme in the Victorian forest/mountain areas - huge winter storms.
