Rob called to organise the reconnoitre to Collie in preparation for the return reverse trip in February.
An early start on Saturday saw us back in the Brunswick Junction area heading for the exit point of our normal winter Collie excursion looking for an alternate route to the main road rather than scratching our way along the very overgrown exit track.
Fortunately, I had taken the time to look at the DOLA Land On Line site the day before and made up some mud maps using the arial photographs of the area we were interested in. In no time at all and after following fence lines and inspecting firebreaks, we were at the exit point with some new challenges in store for those zookers who are brave enough to return with us next month. Rob gave me 14/10 for navigation!
Futher investigation also provided us with a second, alternate exit route and an escape route halfway along the "track of no return" just in case we need it in the future.
The entrance point for next month trip (old exit point) is not looking good, with deeper ruts after the winter rain and a very rocky, rutted drop off!
Should be a fun trip! I will let you know.
