Re: Yerranderie (Blue Mtns NP)
There is a great thread about Yerranderie here - good reports, folks.
Jalal, maybe you could get the number plate ones over to DIY or Q&A, cos it might save someone having to get a new number plate who mightn't notice it in this thread..

Re: Yerranderie (Blue Mtns NP)
G'day Peter,
quote: The fact that there was a lot of water and it looked like a pool in your photo really disguises what is underneath - which are some deeper wheel ruts.
It's pretty amazing how sharp the edges of the ruts are - I guess once you get a certain depth everyone keeps to the same path and re-inforces the rut, til you end up with a nice big hole! I reckon the water would've only been ~10-15cm higher than your photo, but it was enough to hide the true nature of it! Still, learned my lesson...
quote: I think we decided it would be a good challenge in a manual and probably achievable in a auto
Yeah, my exy's an auto, which allowed me to not have to worry about a clutch while picking my way up. I think the exy handled it very well, and I have no doubt an experienced driver could do it in a manual without grief.
Unfortunately we didn't get over to cross the Kowmung, we're from Wollongong so came up via Wombeyan on the way in, and we ran out of time and had to head home via Taralga/Goulburn on Sunday. I had hoped to get over to Kanangra Walls for lunch Sunday, but we decided to spend more time exploring Yerranderie. So now I have an extra reason to go back :-)
