Zig Zag / Newnes SF - track locations

Any suggestions or additions welcome.
I'll try to limit pictures to 2-3 per track - but some tracks so good they'll need a couple more

That's an impressive post Myall. Pretty much got everything in the area ticked off there.

 

Totally agree with Todd. Amazing post. Hopefully our track database gets up and running soon.

Mate Nice Work!!! Awesome!

 

Cheers guys! Any suggestions or additions are welcome...
Would definitely be nice to see the track submissions and logs working again. I have quite a few to add!

 

Awesome post!

Here's my old jigger on the opposite side of the Lost City

 

Well done mate. Awesome area review.

what happened to the truck wrong way up on powerlines?

 

hehe I must say I'm really fond of the upside down 4wd shot He wasn't in my group on the day, I just happened to see the aftermath. On this particular climb, the track veers passenger side with a little bit of off camber angle down to the passenger side. For some reason he didn't move with the track, instead, drove the driver side up a large rock on the driver side of the track, and it went straight over. It's not the first time I've seen roll overs on this climb.

 

Fantastic info and great pic's to help plan trips, there are some great looking tracks in that lot.
Thankyou very much for sharing.

 

Great info mate, Now i know the names of places I've been and where to find the ones i was looking for

 

Thanks for posting this. It is a very comprehensive list of the drivable tracks in the area. Looks like I've done all of them except for Axe Hill and the track opposite to the Lost City.
While on the subjects of the Newens Plateau, does anybody know the exact location of the old correctional camp in the Bungleboori area?

 

jbe,
I've never heard of it but I'll ask a friend who knows that area even better than me.
Surely you haven't done bounty hill ???

 

No, I haven't. It must have looked very overgrown when I drove past as the starting point is on my track logs. Next time I go there, I'll walk it.

 

Yes the entrance to the track is quite overgrown, it clears up shortly after, and then later the main decent is overgrown again.
The old correctional camp ie "Newnes Afforestation Camp" is here:
