Taste of Belanglo State Forest

Daly's Clearing Belanglo
Great campsite, check the fire restrictions!

Belanglo State Forest
Take any route SW to Bunnigalore Rd

Bunnigalore Rd
head west on the main drag

after Bunnigalore Road turns North take Brethren Point Road to the left (west)

Brethren Point Road

turn right (North) onto Red Arm Creek Fire Trail. Straight ahead is "No access / Bunnigalore wildlife refuge"

Red Arm Creek Fire Trail

map doesn't show it, but the trail continues all the way down the ridge

Rocklea Fire Trail
turn right (East) at the bottom onto Rocklea Fire Trail

There's a junction here. Both tracks lead up to the Bunnigalore Road. Left (North West) takes you straight to the quarry & pistol club

Bowral Pistol Club
Quarry is closed during pistol shoots and vice versa!

Danger! Quarry view! It's a big drop with unstable sides!

take an old fire trail off to the right (north east) or do a U turn at the quarry gate!!

turn right (south). Don't enter the Bunnigalore Angus stud!

Longacre Fire Trail
take a left (south east) onto Longacre Fire Trail

nice forest gully

turn right (south east) at the junction to avoid the dead end.

Stay on the main part of Longacre Fire Trail unless you're keen for a little steep single track to the left (east)

Rough single track, If you're feeling like a little bike dragging : )

A trail to the left (north) links up with Morrice Creek Fire Trail. So does straight ahead!!

turn right (south east) on Morrice Creek Fire Trail. The other way (north west) has a locked gate.

continue south on Morrice Creek Fire Trail unless you feel like detours.

Belanglo Backpacker Memorial
The memorial plaque for the Backpackers killed by Ivan Milat is at this corner of the pine forest plantation

head north back up Morrice Creek Fire Trail

turn right (east) onto Miners Despair Fire Trail

Miners Despair Fire Trail

going left (north east) is a worthwhile short dead end

SLOWLY does it. If the sign doesn't stop you, the drop will!

Miners Despair Fire Trail
Worth a visit. SLOWLY. The sign says it all!

Tree Cave Fire Trail
take Tree Cave Fire Trail to the east.

If you spot it, a left (south east) takes you to a stretch of single track. If you miss it, it meets back up with Tree Cave Fire Trail anyway.

a short bit of easy single track

at the junction of Maritime Pine, Tree Cave and Cowlishaws, head left (south) on Cowlishaws Fire Trail

Cowlishaws Fire Trail

after a small hill, a hard right onto a sandstone shelf will take you back north parallel to Cowlishaws Fire Trail on a great section of single track

good fun stretch of single track, some rock shelves etc.

cross the Firebreak Road and head into the Pine Forest!!

good fun stretch of single track through the pine forest

when you come out of the pines head left (east) on the Firebreak Road for a short way to the corner.

just before the corner (not at the corner) a single track heads off to the right (south west)

more good single track, if you go left, NOT back onto the fire trail

bit of a track maze here, but just get onto Dalys Road (the main trail to the west) and head south on it

Dalys Rd, Belanglo State Forest
back to the camp site! If you pass Pinaster Pine Road, then Knapsack Gully Road, you're heading the right direction down Dalys Road.

Finish
