If so were you on the tracks on the hills surrounding the lake and dam?

A lot of tracks were put into the area to get drilling rigs up there. In those days they were very 'hairy' in winter even in a landrover or cruiser, not a lot better in Summer either.

Nice one.
We rode a couple of track above Cromwell..
