Lots of restricted area on both sides of the road.
Gapped Axe is a local down there. I am sure he would put you on the straight and narrowQuote:

This is about 35 mins from my place and even i dont bother with it unless im keen for an avo walk. They are there (deer) but the blody woblies are always scratching round and make it hard because you spend your day sneeking up on another "fulse alarm".
It is nice country to wander around in tho.
The best areas i have found are to walk from the boat ramp at Okatina round to the other side of the lake and head up hill from between the two lakes.
Im listening!Quote:
