Yes the bridge at the bottom of Bowens Creek Road and yes that road is well travelled. But the road changes name at the creek. My car is pointing towards Bowens Creek Road. I had just come down Mt Irvine Road from Bilpin. Now that road is definitely not well travelled.
I will let Roger and Graeme decide who goes next.
Cheers
Mike

Thanks but squarely beaten to the post. I started to post some time earlier but decided that it wasn't the road so perhaps next time I'll not be so hesitant to try.
I'm surprised that the road still isn't sealed as it would have been over 30 years since I was last on it.

Last time I was out that way there was and old 'Road Closed' barrier at the Mt Irvine end but with plenty of evidence of people (locals etc probably) having ignored the signage and driven around it.
Anyway to keep the comp rolling lets move to a warmer climate for this location, taken just a few days ago.

There is a road closed sign at the beginning, but the barrier about 2km further in was open last time (a couple of years ago). The photo was taken about 18 months before that, again barrier open. Track is not bad, narrow, badly eroded by run off in places.
The bridge, however was deteriorating last time I was there.
I heard that the Mt Irvine locals were agitating for repairs so that it could be used as an alternative escape route in case of fires.
Cheers
Mike
