Bendethera Valley - Deua River Flowing?

Mate, Dampier Fire Trail is a highway with only those few steep hair pins. Track condition has improved heaps. I was there in November and the Deua was still flowing and we have had rain since so should be still fine. Good luck, it's a great little spot......

I was out there mid December for our local 4wd club Xmas party weekend & the road from Moruya to Bendethra was recently graded & water in the river aplenty. We have had locally (Tuross Head) & in the ranges near Bendethra about 3 inches of rain since Xmas. NPWS have current a complete fire ban so check that out before you go.

Enjoy you stay!

Merricanbean (spelling) Fire trail....definately no trailer trail....hope it doesnt rain whilst your there, or u could be camping in the car...sort of trail. Accelerate down hills to keep steering in one particular place sort of trail :@)
Love the valley and the 4wding/caveing

Was there late November, was water in the river but pretty low, track conditions were very good. Bendethera valley campground was very thick with flies...have fun, great spot.

Cheers

Was down there last week. Bendethera and Dampier tracks were fine even in damp conditions. We had two campers with us.
Merricumbene was a challenge in places particularly as it was damp. The campers would have had buckleys in the conditions. It was very rutted and chopped up on a couple of sections and some of the clay hills were a quite slippery.
There was hardly anyone there and it was quite green and the river was flowing.
