This trip identified a couple of roads that I want to check out another day. Next time, I reckon we'll cut through the back of Hahndorf to Nairne, pick up what looks to be dirt around the back of Brukunga and out towards the Bremer Valley again.   I want to check out Range Road and Bondleigh Road, this also chucks in Mt Beaver fire track, which was padlocked, so unlikely to be a viable option.... If not, we can always detour back around Black heath road to Pym Road. Route Link https://goo.gl/maps/1qhuBQMHZL12     Convoluted but hopefully fun.

I could see we were approaching the edge of the river flats and the Bitumen of Reedy Creek Road and turned back to the NW, along Talbot road, until we hit Black Heath Road. Black Heath road was dirt, but a much wider and much more well groomed road, albeit some spectacular views. It's hilly country, with a lot of rocky outcrops. Winter rains have filled th...
