Taaffe Bridge Camp: 20-8-21

[Big Red]

Headed down to Andrew Dryden Park on friday after work to check out some tunnels i spotted on Google Maps but when i ssaw this spot vacant i wheeled in and grabbed the spot for the weekend.
Dogs are allowed and had a couple of bars of 3G, no toilets but its only a K or two up to Andrew Dryden Park

[Big Red]

After a nice night around the campfire i headed off next morning across the paddock to the railway line passing this old gate


then passed this abandoned house

[Big Red]

I made it across to the northern end of the train tunnel then walked through




came out the southern end


the curving rail is getting pretty worn out


a short way up the line is a waterfall which is where i turned back

[Big Red]

passed an old telegraph pole on the way back north




Ya gotta be alert as the rail line is used several times a day......




I returned through the tunnel and headed back to camp to relax for the afternoon.

After another night around the campfire i awoke and watched the sun light up the hills as it rose.




I climbed the hill on the other side of the water to look down on my camp

[Big Red]

After packing up i headed south down the road to a spot near another tunnel and went up for a look.




I headed in for a look but its a curved tunnel and quite long so ran out of light to see where i was stepping and turned back the way i came in




Once back out i headed back to the Ute and headed home.
