Tanks on Scotts Main Range at New Yards and Byrnes Gap

Sun 23 Apr, 2023 6:33 pm

Hi there

Can anyone advise whether there are still water tanks in working order at the properties at the properties at Byrnes Gap and New Yards/Kowmung House?

While I believe that these are both private properties, I understand that the owners are generally happy for people to take water sparingly from the tanks.

Any recent advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

I know there is water at New Yards, but I'm not sure about Byrnes Gap.
I was at New Yards over Easter and there was plenty of water in the tanks. Walkers passing through are welcome to use as much water as they need.

Regards,

Corker - thank you! I just heard from the Catholic Bushwalking Club (it is actually Gunatawang Catholic Youth that owns New Yards), who confirmed what you said. Cheers.
If anyone can provide information about Byrnes Gap, that would be great.

Last we were there at Byrnes Gap there was a tap outside the shelter door which worked.
There is even a shower (cold!) at New Yards these day.

Cheers
