Hi Neil, Thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. I will attempt a revisit with your map as well. I am 80% certain the private property sign was at the start of the red but i was following my map closely. I came to a make shift log placed across what is normally an open gateway. However a very good chance i was off track. That whole area is amazing to explore and best done by MTB. I really enjoy your blogs. Please keep at it.

Hi Lloyd
Please see this map:

You can download a copy here.
The shaded yellow sections are forestry roads. You can travel on them so long as they’re not harvesting (sometimes they’re temporarily closed).
The red line (my addition) follows a national park track from the gate to the top of the hill. The track as marked is all on National Park (not private) land. Provided you stay to the south of the property boundary, I think you will not stray on to private property.
Hope this helps.
Neil

Thank you, much appreciated! Will check it out.

G’day D
Do it – you’ll love it. Bald Mountain is the best view you’ll get for a short hike anywhere.
Liz and I drove up there in our 2WD Camry and walked 5km each way to the summit.
Here’s a track log for that hike which will give you an idea where to park your car.

Just remember to drive slowly for the last km or so – it gets a bit bumpy.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the blog 🙂
Neil
