Have I mentioned how I hate bastards who live in graticules that don't suck arse? Monday in Ingham the point is in a cane field, so could be accessed within at least about 50m (or closer, depending on if they've harvested, and how friendly the farmers are).
Ayr's point looks quite open and friendly, and possibly even quite simple to get to. It looks like you just go to Woodstock, follow Webb Rd, then along Dingo Park Rd until it turns to dirt, and then keep on driving. No worries.
I'm going to Charters Towers today! It's too good to turn up! (If I had a copilot to share fuel and boredom with, I'd also do Clark River. Two in one day!) –Matty21:27, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
Out in the bush near Dotswood again. Google tells me it's a 95km/90 minute trip each way (from my place), not including the 500m bush walk from the road.
Look at that, right on the road, and only about 100km away.
If I hadn't burned all that fuel yesterday going to Charters Towers, I'd consider this one. But alas, purse strings and all. –Matty23:29, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
What appears to be a public road just off the highway. Quite easy to get to.
If you check the satellite image, which tends to be more accurate, it's actually right on the road. Anyone up for a trip? (Probably not my car, I've driven that way too recently.) –Matty12:02, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
Someone with a bit of adventure in their soul could attempt this one. It's near Keelbottom Creek, out along Hervey's Range Development Road. According to the satellite images, there's a paved road to some sort of building in a clearing *, which gets you within 500m of the point. Probably private property, but also probably worth a look, if you're heading out that way. Google says about 55-60km from my place.
* Very well-made road, with a decent bridge over the creek; helipad; clearing with building and roads. Feels quite military, or possibly a mine.
Here you go YWE, looks like Abergowrie might be accessible, as long as you're up for a little rainforest hike. (No fear, it looks like no more of a challenge than our Giru trip.)
Again, if someone with a GPS didn't mind taking me for a longish drive, and I wasn't moving house... *sigh*–Matty
