*What's there*


*General comments*
	This is a B-Grade 4WD trek in dry weather conditions. It would be A+, and probably not worth the risk, in wet conditions. At an easy pace the trip will take about 6 hours. Trailers are NOT recommended on this trek in either direction. On this recce we assisted a novice 4WDriver and his trailer to exit towards the west which was the direction he entered the trek. There are a number of campsites along the way and these are recorded separately - Check Remainder of the content is available on the CampGroundCorner CD
