Also becoming overgrown. Could still b...
Drove out to the Diversion Dam via Buttler Main. Road is good shape until roughly 4km south of the Dam where a bridge is washed out and impassable.
Bennett Steers - Oct 31, 2026From Chris H: 2WD to the switchback spur, but with a grassy median that may justify moderate to high clearance. The main is gated just after the star...
