Date Created1st December 2019CommentsDeb Corich: Make for a very bumpy ride!

Pam Englefield-Absolum: And people complain about roads today.

Arthur Bass: By the looks, I reckon it would possibly be Barrack Creek

Mark Healey: Pretty sure this is Pegleg Creek. Note the steep rise on the far side. Looks pretty similar to this one too: https://westcoast.recollect.co.nz/nodes/view/2160

Maye Dunn: Good spotting Mark Healey.

Tony Kirwan: bugga... just have to sit here and take in a couple of pints mates...till they bring the shovel!!..

Stuart McMillan: I guess it’s tricky , with wagon wheels being so narrow, sink into soft gravel very easily
