Ok, this weekend I'm thinking of going to look for this place at http://www.4x4earth.com.au/4wdtracks/tr ... ontumanna/

Just behind wynyard, isn't meant to be anything difficult. Just unused roads which could maybe put up a little challenge haha...

To get there, From WYNYARD area, drive up CALDER RD then turn right on ZIG ZAG RD, then a left onto WEST CALDER RD and the next turn will be a left which would a few ks up WEST CALDER RD.

Anyhoo, I'm just thinking about it, so if anyone wants to do it, I'll defiantly try an make an effort.

I guess not anymore...
Went and had a look at this place today, and its now got a gate across the road :(

This is the gate, which is about 350m
up the gravel road, after you've turned
off the main road.

Not sure what I'm up too yet, Will definatly be in Burnie 1st-5th Dec to blast my brains out on a uni module. Plan is to come up a bit earlier and hang out. Will see what happens.

Only weekends free for me between now and next feb are the 22/23 Nov and 6/7 Dec.

Shakespear's is a nice track, there is a steep bit near the top of the hill/mountain thats very gravelly. Could be a problem if its been chewed out by 38" + MT's.

Forestry never fails to please. There is heaps of tracks, for just about any level of offroad vehicle. Too bad the mud stinks.
