Wow. That's a long time. Thanks for the update.

Thanks. That's interesting that they are actually doing work in the Budawangs. The cynic in me asks exactly what "infrastructure" is there? I don't remember much of anything. That said, that track could do with a bit of work as it is horribly eroded in places.

Disappointing it's closing the week of the long weekend. Could've delayed it a week...

Wow, actually doing some work on the wooden steps up Meakins pass & down to Cooyoyo with some minor re-routing

I've always assumed all of that work was done prior to the wilderness declaration
