Friday night we legged it out there to get camp setup and the fire going, it was freezing!
^ Saturday Morning Camp. After a bit of a look around the campground, we headed out to check out the Kelly Tree and the site of the Police Camp shooting. Pretty interesting.
Then we hit “the tracks”:
Quality 4wd tracks were few and far between, we had fun looking around and the little pockets we found were good.
There were some decent rivers and creeks in the area, especially with the amount of rain we've had recently:
Traffic report:
The irony here is just after taking this pic a local fella trundled past us – we got stuck behind him shortly after...
We hit up Middle Creek Track, it was pretty easy going for 99% of it. The area is heavily used for logging – native forest and pine plantations, so most of the roads are “bush highways” really. This was an area with some negotiation required, as usual the photo just doesn't do it justice:
Later we hit a couple of creek crossings. The first was the most interesting:
One of our activities in our cruising around was to checkout all the campsites marked on the map as this place is pretty strict on where you camp (if you stick to what the signs say). This was after visiting one of the better campsites that had a fun track in and out:
After another creek crossing and bumping into more hunters (we'd been seeing them from about the first half of the Middle Creek Track) we started to head back to camp. The hunters became spaced about 500m apart on the track as they were tracking deer in the area. We noisily cruised through the area then cut some wood when we finally found some dried out stuff.
