Sweet thanks Nath would be appreciated.
Shame about the dogs not being allowed looks like its just me then.
ok after having a quick look at the swallowtail fire track i cant say that i have treid to get there on that EXACT route, but i do know most of the trails around there are pretty tame dirt roads and if you enter the caves from Taralga it will be mostly on tar to the camp grounds, coming in from the Goulburn end is the safest and easiest route especially for those that are towing.
I will be leading a trip out the Mittagong route on the muster weekend for those that want to do some site seeing and some low range stuff, so if you did want to come in from the other end then that would give you a chance to see the entire area.
I think if you want to do a scenic route try coming in from Jenolan caves, and head up through and onto the Boyd Plateau and take a short detour to look at the awesome Kanangra-Boyd NP, jump out and do the short walk from the carpark to check out one of the best veiws the blue mountains has of the Kanangra walls and you can also walk down to a beautiful waterfall and swimming hole.
Then head for the Kowmung river fire trail which winds down to the Kowmung river and past Dingo Dell camp ground (another great spot) and stop for a fish as the streams do have trout in them, the fire trail does have a few steep sections but is easy and is well maintained.
From there you head up the hills towards Mt Werong along the Oberon-colong stock route, follow that east to the "Range Fire Trail" past Mt Werong camp ground and out to meet up with Wombeyan Caves rd, you could also do a detour at MT Werong and duck out to Yerranderie the old silver mining ghost town.
You can actually find a very detailed trip map on this exact trip in the
"Boiling Billy" book "4WD Trecks Close To Sydney" and the trip is named "Caves Caves"
Its a really nice trip with generally easy 4x4 driving through some of NSW best scenery.
We did this trip about 12months ago over three days and it was awesome, no diff banging low range slow going, all done with the kids and camper trailers.
