Just got back from a trip to Port Macquire and Diamond Head.

On our way home we thought we take a track that runs from Diamond Head to Crowdy Head/Harrington just about parallel to the beach and runs into a track called "The Sand Trap".

There was a sign at (Kylies Camp site) the start of the track, saying "No Thru Road" so we went back to Diamond Head camping site to ask the camp site management people. Now I have two State Forest maps ( one printed 1986 (yes old) the second 2000 ) show a 4WD track all the way, I spoke with the Park management people at Diamond Head and they told me the road was definately open and at one stage it was closed (thus the sign) and that it had not been taken down.

So beliveing the locals we headed off.

We got within 700m of the Abbey Creek picnic sight....... Rotted Baksia had fallen over the road.

20 minutes later had cleared a path to get around it only to find Abbey Creek picnic site was a DEAD END !!!! (Much to the amusement of my wife who sat in the car the whole time videoing)

These maps I have I purchased off this site and I understand that roads can close, but at this dead end there was NO indication of a track EVER existing.

Where can you get the latest maps or information from?
