This is a fun track. It comes off the entrance road to Merringtons Track, which takes you to the Merringtons Camp Site, and the gateway to a lot of other tracks. It has some deep decents/ascents, which will require low gear and some clearance. This track was demanding in spots with the decents, also has a lot of loose rocks and some deep culverts dug into it, but was a good run in the dry. Will need to take special care in the wet, as the decents have clay base, so will be very slippery. There is a nice creek area at the bottom, which is forded in one area only, any where else will have you acting like a submarine!!! All in all, I recommend this track for suitably equipped vehicles.

2008-09-01 Toyota Landcruisersaltwater003 Headed up this track with some medium level drivers. Managed to get a Patrol to the top in 2wd with a blown clutch. Got stuck near the top and required a winch and elbow grease. Not too difficult in the dry, very slippery in the wet parts. Good fun !!
