WARNING!
Be careful o
n Barter’s Hill (the first one, going down coming in). A land slip has taken out the verge on the outside edge and I wouldn’t drive to close to the edge there, it doesn’t look too secure.
The condition of Gabal Road from the Front Gate to the bottom of the hill is good as it has recently (after the rains) been graded, so you can keep well left when heading up the hill. Remember to give anyone coming down lot’s of room.
2WD Access Restored
The roads have just had a touch up courtesy Aaron, Chris and Ross. The culvert at the front creek is in good condition and the road in from about Greg’s up to the Dairy triangle has had gravel added and been graded, so roads are passable even by low riding 2wd vehicles. (maybe not TOO low riding – don’t bring your show car in).
Well after a wet spell Gabal Road had really suffered, with deep ruts on all the hills and deep pot holes on the flat stretches. Finally the Council have deigned to grade the road!
Check out this nice flat surface!
Ross, Chris and Aaron did a sterling effort in coming up with a home made, professionally built, road surface roller. Consisting of a row of tyres weighted down with drums of water, the equipment allows the crew to compact the road surface after grading. Check out the pics below:
