Watagans NSW?

Question

I'm headed up to the Watagans this week-end to give test my Vitara out, if entering on Watagan road, what tracks are close to there where I could get my confidence up?? My mate wants to go to Slippery Rock R.d but from the pics that I have seen it looks pretty full on and I could do some damage, any suggestions??

tks

Answer 1

I wouldn't go up there at the moment mate,

It's been raining so much here in Newcastle it'll just be giant waterslides.

It can get very boggy there and the crevasses in the roads are decieving and deep. I've been 4-wheel driving there before

a few times and even with experienced drivers we never go with less than 3 cars and tow straps.

+ the mobile phone reception is non-existent.

When its drier though its the best! :)

Cheers, Kristy

Latest Update:

Definately don't head up there this weekend,

its been raining buckets / storming all day and there is a

flash flood warning for the newcastle / hunter area.

Answer 2

i dont really know the area that well but, if your prepared to travel another 45 minites you could travel up to anna bay and hit the sand dunes, if you head up nelson bay rd (towards nelson bay) you will come to gan gan rd turn right and about 3, 4 km you will see entrence on the right to the beach and dunes, you will prob need a permit so check with the local council first.
