Reviews
"Easy with a few moderate 4WD tracks."
"A great place to get off the beaten track. It's is quite hilly so if you are walking have a good look at the contour map. It is a good place for mountain biking as well. Some good views can be had as well."
"Bit of a rubbish heap on the west side of town but nice"
"Nice views but roads are very bad and need better roadmarkings to reach the places you are looking for. Eg. To resch the waterwheel therd is one board in the main road then it stops so still looking for it because there are now signal coverage what so ever to help you."
