Location
In the south-west corner of the Kowen Forest pine plantation, that is in the north-east corner of the Australian Capital Territory.
Participants
1PE
Plans
Getting there. But, I had a mud bog jump onto the track.
Expedition
1PE
I drove out over lunchtime. I knew that there is a service track (wheel-ruts only) along the northern side of the railway line that forms the boundary of the Australian Capital Territory, that has the Kowen Forest beside it. I got to a bog where the recent rain had filled up a hole, about 2km short of the hash. I tried driving through and quickly realised that I should get the car out! The car tyres were screaming but it finally slipped enough to reverse out. Stupidly, I tried again on what I thought was firmer ground on the side of the bog hole, but it was quickly as bad and I was lucky for a second time. That was it! I took some pictures and got out with a dirty car, and the pictures to prove it.
The expedition ended, un-officially, with the high pressure hose at a car wash. I got most of the mud out from the tyres, mud-guards (it's all in the name, you see), and underneath.

Photos
The car is out of the mud bog hole, and it is too far to hike in to that pine forest.
Close-up with the bog hole.
Looking at the pine forests from the track's entrance.
