Has anyone driven out to Long Gully in the Budawangs recently that could provide an update on the condition of the road?
I was out there about 9 months ago and the rutts were getting fairly deep, just wondering if it's had any work done since then.
Cheers

Clyde River is still rising and is currently at 6 metres, I am thinking the road is bad again......

Ended up going on Friday, if anyone is wondering the road is in fairly good condition until after Yadboro Flats campground, then gets a bit rutted for the last kilometre or so, but is okay for a 2wd if you take it really slow

How high was the Clyde River at Yadboro flats?

the Clyde River wasn't much higher than any other time i've crossed the bridge there at Yadboro Flats. Crossing it at Long Gully Campground it was a bit under knee height for me

Can you get through via the Western Distributor Road yet? The bridge was washed away a while back.

was there today (18/feb/23) via Croobyar and Woodburn Rds, etc.
Forest roads recently graded, mostly excellent, some water runnels and care required.
Some wheel-swallowing potholes on the sealed roads prior to the turnoff (Woodburn). Council getting to them but some areas marked 40kmh and for good reason.
Hot day!
