No worries Jon.  From what I've seen on U-tube Daniel's Point Raod is not for the faint hearted and has a massive bog hole at the bottom, and is recommended to be traversed top to bottom because of some rock shelves in the track. 

I've done Danials Point 3 times in both directions, you can combine Whitemans Rd or the Zig Zag over to Hell Hill then down Danials Point Rd in both directions, I haven't tried Whitemans up though, bit of a risk in a short wheel base 4B, it is getting worse and there have been rumours it might get closed.

I've done 15 of those tracks

- Strzelecki Track SA 
- Waterfall Way NSW 
- Big Red Track QLD 
- Mt Walker NSW
- Dig Tree Loop SA/QLD
- Border Track VIC 
- Daniels Point Road Watagans NSW
- Stockton Beach NSW   
- Bloomfield Track QLD
- Mt. Gill Track SA
- Oodnadatta Track SA
- Innamincka To Coongie Lakes SA
- Frenchman's Track QLD   
- The French Line SA 
- Old Telegraph Track QLD.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fool

Baz, how long ago was the last time you did Daniels Point Road?  It's got me pretty interested.

It's been a while 07, 08 from memory, it's worth the drive up, do Whitemans around to Danials Point, it's a good drive, Whitemans is steep, a lot of the tracks are being closed though, Slippery Rock is one, have a look at Wave Rock Rd and Farrells Rd, these are fun tracks, if they are still open that is.


The last bit of this vid is of Farrells

About 2/3rds the way up Farrells

Yes funny when people do that, it is a bit un-nerving on side angles, in the car it feels worse, if you listen closely at the end of the vid, you can hear my missus oh fu## crap fu## fu## and you can hear the guys outside laughing ;D

Only 9 for us.

I agree with others that Skytrek is WAY too high in that list.  Its nice but not as good as the rating shows.  Blue Rag & Billy goats are much nicer tracks, as are others that dont make the list (Haunted Stream)

I've done a few also to lazy to add them up  ;D

Yeah its a bit like when you duck when your pushing through tight scrub and there are branches hitting your windscreen

Did anyone hit their roof on that tree?
