    Jaden and Tech! You are most welcome. SJC encourages a couple of trips to make sure you like us before you join up. [And you will join up ]. jades can we have Name and vehicle? Technickster - name?

    OK the fabulous Kerry insisted we do a dry run. We have done all these tracks, just not pinned together the way we were intending. So we had a solo play today testing the route. Well done Kerry because look what we found:




    So that is Old Mill Rd - didn't even realise it had a bridge. So we re-traced, found a diversion - and we have to rescind from our initial intent to avoid branches that can get scratchy. Sorry, but it's the Watagans, if you want to get off the graded D grade (2WD) tracks we have to take what comes. A Little mud, a little bit of branches or lantana. Just the way it is. But this also means we can work hard on "interesting bits". I think you are going to like this trip. Still C Grade (easy) but getting really into some remote spots that show off the Aussie bush.

    The rest of the trip we just kept crossing wildlife. Felt like Kerry should be re-named Kerry Attenborough.

    No pic of the echidna we found who just dug in deep trying to ignore us. But check this:







    We're calling that a carpet python - pretty thin coming out of winter slumber, Kerry says 5' long. I think that's being conservative.




    Looks like a large seagull? We think it might be a goshawk. Bit bigger than say a galah. Sorry the pic isn't better, but as we approached it flew off in a lumbering struggling low flight, carrying something heavy. Ultimately it dumped it's load and flew freely.




    That's dinner, an adult ring tail possum for goodness sake. By the time we returned dinner was gone. The hawk was not letting dinner go easy!

    Anyway. See you on the trail!

    Map for the twin servos (Caltex) called F3 Wyong North bound. First servo AFTER the Wyong turn off.




    Also, if anyone who has Hema Explorer would like copies of the trail plot and notes let me know, we can email them.

    Cheers
