Am going up to Mount Superbus with a few mates next week and am wondering where is the best place to get dropped off at? Being driven in a 2wd, so it needs to be a closed road. And from there what bearing should we take to get to the mountain?

If you go by http://en.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=913585 then you start from the end of Emu Creek Rd.

Be sure to let us know how you go !

If you go via Emu Creek, the road is in great disrepair and creek crossing will not allow a 2wd over them. We checked them out 2 weeks ago and honestly you cannot get through to South Branch via any vehicle at the moment. Trees down and road very badly damaged after floods. We cleared some rocks and drove our Subaru forester as far as we were game to go, but one creek crossing stopped us with thick mud on other side and having no winch, we decided to leave it for another day. If you go in that way, drop the cars at the gate after Don's place and leave there and walk the rest of the way in. We do Superbus mainly from Teviot Gap, as you can leave your car near the gate at the Head road. This is by far the easiest and quickest way to got to Mt Superbus, but make sure you have a good toppo map and can navigate. These days there seems to be a fairly obvious track through to the top. If you are going to the lincoln Wreck, then Emu creek is a good way to do it, but I still prefer the Teviot route the best.

Hello all, I travelled up the Emu creek Road on Easter, it was trafficable relatively easily for SUVs for its length. The road was relatively greasy /slippery. Taking a family car in would not be advisable at the moment. The road up to Davies Ridge is washed out, you can go in about 1.2 Kms with a moderate clearance vehicle after the second creek crossing the road is impassible.

I am thinking of walking to the wreck in the comeing weeks. Does anyone have GPS co-ordinates of the wreck??

Bits of it start from the base of the mountain all the way up really.
