Wandera Mountain

First it was Gollarribee then Wandera Trig. Yep, another hill carry mission off the Araluen Road. I planned to make a loop of it - even though the main purpose is just to carry a load uphill - by crossing over from Knowles Road to CPT 576/1 and joining K Ridge Road which would give me a bit more uphill.

So, I parked near the bridge over Knowles Creek (dry) and walked up Knowles Road which is nice and steep right away. Note that you can't get onto CPT576/1 from the Araluen Road as it runs through private property. After about 2.5 km, I took the only track off to the right (east) which is CPT576/2. This went down steeply to Knowles Creek - still dry - but there was no sign of CPT576/1 and it is a bit hard to imagine there are two bridges over Knowles Creek in such close proximity to one another. So, I had to walk back. You could continue on the old road that crosses Knowles Creek twice (CPT 576/3) but you would have a bit of bushwacking up a steep slope to get back out on Knowles Road.

So, back up Knowles Road and onto Wandera Trig Road and then the top, where there are views, sufficient trees having been lopped down, as well as an assortment of towers and communication devices.
