Hi Glen

Mate the crossings are down now, but I would walk them first just to make sure there are no obstacles or large holes or something. If you want to know what the levels are, check out www.waterinfo.nsw.gov.au and look for the Macquarie River...

Call to Action - Open the Bridle Track

Hi everyone

I have been trying to put a little pressure on Bathurst Regional Council to get the Bridle Track re opened at Monaghan's Bluff. Here is an article I got published in the Bathurst newspaper, The Western Advocate yesterday...

We were up at Hill End camping this passed weekend and the local ranger said that the Bridle Track will be closed permanently

Yep, I have heard that it may never reopen, they are planning on constructing a new road behind Monaghans Bluff through farm land. Could be a very long time before that happens though.
It's a shame that such an iconic part of the road will be no more.

I just spoke to a mate that lives up there and for them to fix the current road there is a lot of work as part of the road fell away so that's why they are looking to put another road in
