Many downed trees between branch and 0.5km, impassable. Need a chainsaw to clear

Washout at 7.5km is eroding further and becoming impassable, very steep walled on one side. Failed attempts with a Subaru Outback , had to turn around...

Gate closed on Sunday May 3, 2026.

Was great! Had a nice drive up the freshly graded road and camped the night. Almost no traffic and the site was all clean! It is very dusty though so ...
