All fine apart from the firetrap after the creek. Not sure what was done when the trail was regraded but this seems to be a constant soup when ever I ride Manly Dam now!

Do you have more information?

Really boggy. I guess there has been a groundwater buildup through the course of this year.

I found the same thing at Perimeter Trail last weekend when I came in via Nerang Rd. Not what I was expecting on a 33C day.

It's all the clay they scraped off the top of the rocks further up.

They couldn't have done a better job of turning it into a bog. Really needs a drain built across the fire trail there to let the water get downhill instead of turning the track into soup

It's probably not Council that's done this - RFS needs access and they just run a bulldozer through there. Council typically does a better job, with drainage and the provision of water bars.
