The Hunter Main Range trail is now the only four wheel drive trail that traverses east west the Wollemi Wilderness, there where others, but those have been almost completely allowed to return to their natural state. From the eastern end of the Hunter Main Range track there are two very substantial locked gates at the junction called 'Three Ways'. Back in August 2013 a friend and I attempted to ride our mountain bikes from Three Ways to the western edge of the park, after negotiating many many fallen trees across the track and approximately half way and 25km we gave up, camped the night and headed back the next day. One of my reasons for coming out here this time was to see if the track was suitable for cycling. Alas the track is in about the same condition as it was in 2013, the bush fires have undone any clearing that National Parks may have done.
Keeping an eye on the time, I ensured that I turned back after 10km. This area is remote, just get to Three Ways was over three hours driving with an hour of four wheel driving.
Mount Monundilla is one of the Basalt capped mountains in the predominantly sandstone Greater Blue Mountains/Wollemi. I turned back a little way from the summit, the undergrowth is very dense on the richer soil of the summit.
The cicadas where in full song at various parts of the track.
