Hi TerraFirma,
I was there on Monday evening and again Tuesday morning.
The car park layout is not that dramatic - I'd beg to differ with Wayne (sawry Wayne). It is big and a little ugly at present, but at least it is down low and sort of hidden (you can see I'm a photographer) and my 100 Series had no problem maneuvering at all - didn't even dream it was a problem.
The disabled access would be a bit of an issue, but probably you could take a wheelchair off the track with minimal effort - someone had driven a vehicle over then
embankment and parked by the little
information booth they have built, and I would think that a wheelchair could make it through too.
I do sense that the open drains they have built will become mudholes quite quickly, but for now, there has been insufficient water to
test this.
I would guess the car park is not finished. There are two paved pads which appear quite out of place, but which I guess will have picnic tables put on them soon. Hopefully they bolt them down instead of the screws that the dunny is screwed down with.
The Circuit Tk is pretty good - just some bad corrugations in
places. The Mt Stirling - Merrijig road is undergoing road works which were muddy as - I suspect these will be going on until the snow season. The
Craig's Hut Track is not too challenging - just a little muddy in
places.
See my separate post about Monument Tk and
King Hut Tk if you intend heading down them (or up them).
Place is a picture.
What I really wish is that we could fix up the roof so that it doesn't look like a film set ;-) It needs some new logs or bark or whatever was used. Does anyone know anyone involved in building it or repairing it - I think a 4WD club - perhaps
Mansfield - was involved.
Ciao for now
Andrew.
