The Forest Road -
Walklog: An easy walk along The Forest Road,which becomes gravel as it passes under the 330kV power transmission lines. At {173017} the public road ends at a turning circle. With the permission of one of the local landholders I continued through an open gate and along the private gravel road up and over a steep hill, property name 'Wombat Hill'. Extensive views of Lake George at this high point. Contiued north to the gates of property 414 The Forest Road {175029}. Gate open but marked 'Private Property' and a Wildlife Refuge. Turned at this point,3.2km straight line and 3.8km odometer from the start. The road would appear to continue north past Smalley Hill and towards Purrorumba Hill.
