Unirover....strange tagging?

Postby puredingo » Tue 30 Sep, 2014 2:37 pm

Winter was a bit of a bust for me with bushwalking as i didn't really have a chance to get out at all, so when a couple of days free'd up I mapped a course involving the uni Rover track as i had not done it before.

No tags at all up on the platuae country and there are some confusing leads, it's not until you get a couple of k's past lost rock which they begin...and then they stay with a vengance. Hardly a tree escaped the wrath of the small square metal and the clout.
Then you reach a high point along a ridge where you assume to drop off to your left and the tagging stops again. Now by this stage heading down hill will obviously land you on the Kowmung but in the interest of track preseservation/erosion maybe the markers would serve better here than on ridges where the track is quiet defined?

Anyway, hit the kowmung and wandered down to the caves creek, toyed with the idea of heading up mt armour but the weather was so nice and the river was a joy to walk I stayed on it until I hit the Orange bluffs. Camped up for the night and the next morn walked down to Roots ridge track (actually took a bit of locating) and then hauled it on all the way up to the car back at the unirover by 5.

Again Pigs seen, all with young and HEAPS of red bellies...No people.

Yes I noticed those. Some even have names of points marked on them. Some of the side ridges are even named. someone got a bit carried away there.

Maybe it's the other way around - the track is well defined because the markers keep everyone on it?
