Exploring in the New Year

[Greg D]

I brought my TJ up to Forster for a few weeks, and have been out exploring.

Very frustrated by the addition of gates in the Wallingat National Park (just south of Forster), which have eliminated many of the best fire trails.

I did some exploring in the Talawahi Nature Reserve (just south of Taree), and took some tracks that just faded into the bush. After a couple of dead ends, I emerged into a cleared paddock, through a gate and followed a dirt road to a house to get back onto a more formal road. As it happened, the only way to the road was through the barn, so with the owners holding open the front & rear entrances tot he barn, I drove through, avoiding the horses, and back to the road.

I was recoding the Track on MotionX on my iPad, so took screen shots (when I got home and loaded it onto Google Satelite View).

I thought the track though the barn was worth saving:

Overall track I recorded:



Then the track showing the barn:



Actually it wasn't a proper barn, it was more a covered saddling enclosure - it was a horse riding property with about 30 horses.
