Hi Mike and Kerry, this is a useful update! I live over the hill in Highvale and was put off going through to Fernvale. I don’t want to risk crossing someone’s property. But it would be great to roll through this hidden pocket soon.

Moving on up to December 2021. “We” are now 1260 Banks Creek Road. New Gates on the Track often marked Corbould Loop are at the northern boundary of our place, which is also the start of Banks Creek Road.. Our property has cut the southern part of Corbould Loop off. We welcome bikes at Twisted Tin Studios and cottage. Cottage is 95% finished and quite livable,just landscaping and a bit of paint to go.. Cottage stay available. Repairs to bikes and people available.

Thanks for stopping by.
The road down to Banks Creek is “Whoa Boy Break”. It’s not rocky, but it’s really steep and loose in sections. If your tyres were thin (< 2 inch) you might lose traction which would be dangerous on a heavy bike. When you get to the bottom, there's a gate on the right which says "No Entry, Private Proprty". If you're riding the tourer, you MUST take this road, because otherwise you'd have to go up over the Wall of Dirt, and that would be really hard work for you to haul your bike up, and dangerous going down. The private property track leads to a small pleasant community of people living in caravans. They're friendly. They just don't like motor bikes. If you pass through, please stop and say G'day to them. They have a couple of steep driveways, either of which will spit you out onto Banks Creek Road, which is your run-of-the mill gravel road. Hope this helps. Neil

I have a touring (Surly LHT) and was wondering about this route. Thanks for any info regarding the road!
