Iron Knob - Lake G. GPS Waypoints

Post by Rob »

I did these in 2010, thought I'd post them up for anyone new and unsure. I do have a track file but there's a few formats for the various brands. Ask if you want it but we are leaving Thursday am so be quick.

These are the various waypoints for the intersections, Mt Ive station and Kath's Castle. You'll need lots of ground clearance for Kath's Castle if you choose to have a look. It's doable with a Falcon or Commodore but you will suffer belly rash no mater how careful you are.

Format is description followed by co-ordinates.

...............................................................................................................................................................................................................

Iron Knob turn off, if coming from the north, turn right onto the dirt that heads straight up the hill toward the buildings. Be aware there is a 90' left bend in the road at these buildings.
Watch for washouts and dips, these are usually but not always marked.
