Just to let everyone know
the entrance to this track has changed slightly at Paynes crossing - you go over a
grid now rather than thru a
gate and the recent rain has changed the crossing a bit - it is now deeper with at the shallow side water at the top of the head lights on the Nissan Patrol so water did just come onto the the first section of the bonnet. So be warned and it is recommended to start this track at the Paynes crossing end rather than the
Putty Rd end as numerous vehicles decide they cannot cross the creek and venture onto private property looking for alternative ways out rather than back tracking all the way back to the
Putty Rd. The neighbours arebleepoff because of the trespassers and they are also sick of pulling vehicles out of the creek. So walk the crossing first & if in doubt go to
Wollombi for the day.
PS. I crossed the creek on 12/6/03 so the info is recent.Cheers, Beddo

Actually it was pretty much plain sailing. I actually slept 1/2 way up
Mount Yengo on the Sat night and completed the last part through to
Putty on the Sunday. I thought the last section from Mnt Yengo to
Putty was the best. The creek was good for washing the dirt off the wheels :-)
The only 'wet' section was that part just before the turn off to Howes
When you planning on 'doing Big Yango" ??
