Hi RW yes the track is hairy , I havnt been for a month but they did put a dozer over it last summer and we could get through OK , I have a RAV4 and have no problem. The track changes every time it rains as you experienced. I have a mate who goes hunting in there reg and I always give him a call and ask before I go but the shingle bit is the dodgy bit and you can get close then go have a look. My phone number is 063088474 you can give me a call if you are thinking about it and I will try and find out for you . If I,m not home you can leave a message or ask through this site. Ok regards Rob. Ps Ocean Beach at corner creek has delivered a few spotted smoothounds for me this year and quite a few snapper this year, especially on the long lines. but also on rods. Regards Rob
