Bushwalk Australia

Anybody out there in the know as the wether the Wielangta Rd is now a thru road again? Last reports they were replacing a bridge. Also if any would like to share camping sites in the area that would be great (drive in). Cheers Col

yes it is open

has been for a few months http://www.forestrytas.com.au/news/2011/05/wielangta-road-reopens

no official camp sites

people do sometimes camp at the 3 Thumbs Picnic Area and at the Sandspit Forest Reserve.

coming from the south there's state forest either side of the road before you get to the Sandspit Forest Reserve ... quite a few tracks going off south, we've camped at one of these a few years back.

Is the log bridge no longer? The work that must have gone into building that must have seen huge
