We did a tour of the campgrounds and finished at the historic site / picnic grounds . Total trip length was approximately 60km .

Fuel & Supplies We did this on a single tank of fuel , the most important supplies were our lunch and a shared afternoon tea . We had snatch straps and winches available should they be required but they were not .

Difficulty Level / Vehicle Requirements In the dry weather this is an easy drive . We did this after some rain and the Blue Range Trail element of the drive was medium difficulty . We aired down our tires for this part of the drive . We did not need any specific 4WD equipment , but mud tires and a lift made the drive easier . Less experienced drivers needed assistance from more experienced drivers on 2-3 occasions .
