I drove out to Boyd Tower but the road was closed so walked out and the carpark area was also closed , tried accessing it from the beach but it was too steep and waves to high to get there.

I then headed over to the Navy Wharf for a look.

I headed over to Pulpit Rock and pulled up stumps.
even spotted a Lyrebird but it was pretty dark and most of the pics are blurry from it moving.

Got out to the bitumen then headed through the fog to the highway where i stopped and uploaded yesterdays pics.

Image

Spiders web collected the mist

Image

This looks like a good shortcut

Image

Hmmm .... maybe not.

Image

OK, not getting past this burnt out bridge so backtracked and found a dodgy track around on to another track.

Image

Now they tell me :roll:

Image

At least all that growth in the middle of the dodgy tracks cleaned the underside :mrgreen:

Image

I drove down over the border following a track to try and get close to Cape Howe [the Vic /NSW border at the ocean] but found private property or locked gates on every track i tried.

I drove through a few deserted Logging operations, some had barriers with UHF radios in little boxes so you could call the operators.
All were very muddy and slippery.

Image

I crossed the NSW/VIC Border again, luckily no one stopped me.
