Terrey Hills update for 18 Apr
Nerang, Perimeter, Long and Cowan.
Nerang - the "proper" entrance is still a little overgrown but is seeing more use, also a little wet. Once you join up with the old entrance the bog and rock shelf are both very wet but you can ride through it, please don't ride around. On the FT proper things are nice and green from that point until you get back to the bog.
Perimeter - From Nerang is a wet mess, I'd say red and would advise you to stay away unless you want a new drivetrain and enjoy cleaning your bike. More puddles than I ever remember seeing, some hub deep. If you come in at Smiths track then you will miss the worst of it but you will still get wet, I suggest the Jap school entrance for a couple of days yet. Once up on the ridge there are several trail wide puddles, all of these can be ridden through, please do even though people are obviously riding around them, this only widens the trail. The worst of these is where the walking trail meets the horse trail and fire trail.
Long Trail - not too bad with one or too extra puddles than normal but all manageable.
Cowan - The pick of the bunch, no puddles, soil is as firm as that sand can get and it's just rocky good fun.
If it rains tonight, as forecast then I don't think it would take much to turn all of Perimeter in to a running stream.
Do you have more information?

Rode Perimeter this morning from Jap school and then half of Long Trail up to the open area (the "Roundabout" as it is affectionately known). Despite last night's rain all OK, still a couple of puddles that you have to ride through but not the running stream as predicted above. Enjoy.
I did the same this morning. Quite a few people out. End of Long Trail going on from where you turned around was in good condition. Although I didn't have the legs to tackle the evil pinch climb traction looked the best it's been for awhile.
Cowan Track was in really good nick.
By the sound of things I made the right call to turn off at the Jap School on the way back.
