There appear to be no real issues pending for GM18. We will update this on Thursday.

At this point closures are just the usual culprits.

National Parks Watagans and Jilliby
  • Click Creek and Slippery Rock remain closed. None of our trips use them Note that these are trails that Hunter Region (4WD Association) have arranged direct access with Parks. We wont be near them though.
  • There are a couple of closures related to access to Private Land - doesn't impact us.
  • Lemon Tree is closed - we have taken great care to ensure it is not on the GM18 list.
  • Daniels Point Road/Maculata closed - old issue and disappointing but we do not use them for GM18.


State Forests Olney and Awaba
  • Nothing of note though the failed bridge on Forest Rd is noted, doesn't impact us


Fire
Strangely enough there are no current fire bans impacting the area.

Weather
It actually looks to be drying out across this week. There is a small chance of rain over Friday to Sunday, Sunday the more likely, but on each day the expected amount is quite minimal. Don't forget though that the Watagans are infamous for mud and with the recent rain we can expect to find it.


In summary things seem to be looking up.
