at 23kmLake Mary Rd - also dirt & gravel road
at 28kmThis section is very pretty farm land and the road follows Hedlow Creek, with some very pretty scenery, and some great views of the creek which was full of water when last there. Care needs to be taken in this section, as the road conditions can vary considerable depending on the weather and recent maintenance, but the toad is otherwise a well formed road and easily traversed on a road bike.
