    Can anyone confirm that Nullo Mountain Rd/Cox's Creek Rd/Growee Rd, (Kandos/Rylstone/Bylong area) is accessable ie not blocked by locked gate??
    Google earth shows them running all the way to Bylong Valley Way, but parts of it look to have very little in the way of a formed track ???

    I've also been told of locked gates.

    Anyone done it recently ??

    Was up that way about 6 months ago, locked gates everywhere. According to the Npws ranger you are supposed to be able to get a key from the owner at the southern end but there are no contact details on the gates, same bloke has a gate on the cox ck road. From the other end property is owned by Geoff Harvey & prior permission is needed to access. A real pita cause there look to be some really great tracks around that area.

    l was in the rylstone (globe hotel? ) about 6 month's ago, some local's gave me the guy's number to the gate, said he has no problem with people going through just as long as he know"s who and when ( and do the right thing? )
    l have not done it yet so can't let you know of condition's, could be part of a good link to the coast? scott

    looking for a smaller house & bigger shed.
    Is there a 'locked gate' app yet?

    No way should a public road/access/right of way be locked.
    No way should the public accessing those roads stray off the roads, chase or scare stock, dig holes with the tyres etc.
