Bongil Bongil National Park explore

Bongil Bongil Nartional Park has a whole network of dirt roads and trails that we had never explored. This route was just a taster.

We parked the car on Pine creek way and set off down Overhead bridge forest road. We continued along this road past the gate preventing motorised traffic from going further. The map shows two tracks, the Western peninsula trail the Eastern peninsula trail. Of these the former was very overgrown and not readily rideable. However the Eastern trail was easy going with only a few sticks to watch out for. At the end of the fire trail a single track mountain bike trail leads off through the scrub towards the beach. We were able to ride this most of the way before the sand became a bit tedious for our touring bikes and we dumped them (and the gps device) and walked the last bit of the path through to the beach. Here we discovered that it is signposted so it would be possible to find the path from the beach, very useful if trying to find the path from a ride along the beach.
