Glen, that particular section is Gardiner's Gap. Very scenic although the undergrowth on the sides of the track is quite thick.Originally posted by glen_ep View PostSome nice scenery in later part (ferns). Where was it?Cheers,

National Parks website is still saying the Turon River trail downstream of the Diggings campground is still closed, that update was posted in March so who knows what it's like now? May be worth a call to the Blackheath office & find out the latest.
The rocky climb is in Sunny Corner state forestCheers,

The very same. Here is a video where only the Jackasses of the convoy try it. (you guessed it, there's a GQ among them)Originally posted by don1 View PostIs that the jackass hill?

Nothing too scary. No rock steps (Prado's worst enemy) that I could see in the photo or video. Some under body protection and maybe a front locker and I'd take that hill.Originally posted by glen_ep View PostNew climb? You want a new climb?? You should know better!
