All your hashpoint are belong to ADF.
When confronted with the above barricade of death, I decided to hop out of the car and follow the fence cross-country, to see if it curved back around and possibly even let me catch a glimpse of the hashpoint.
It didn't.
So I climbed the side of a steep scrubby ridge, and was almost killed by a ferocious wild wallaby. After my long, arduous climb, I discovered a dirt road leading down the spine of the ridge, right back to the car. So I followed it.
The End
P.S. if you have seen my unofficial reduced geohash for Townsville, you may be amused to note that the hashpoint for Oct 04 was right on the side of the road at Oonoonba, so I drove past it (within around 10m) on my way to work that evening. —Matty
