    Oh, I ran out of space, how unusual... (waffling)

    Back to my opening point, on the way back I dropped into Woody Pear dam, Oaks dam, Wheel Gully dam, & an unnamed dam. I couldn't remember if Toby's Glen has a dam, & didn't look. 🤷 All are simple dirt mound firefighting dams, most are low.

    I had a great time, of course, but my knee hurts. I'm wearing an elastic support, & will probably moan for days.

    89 hrs recovery required, says Mr Garmin

    A blue and yellow eMTB leans against a tree in front of Wheel Gully dam. It's the largest dam along the Oaks firetrail, and is surrounded by natural bushland. A tree has fallen in. The water reflects surrounding natural bushland.
    A small dam, unnamed, near the Woodford end of the Oaks firetrail. It's nearly full to overflowing with muddy water. Like the others, surrounded by natural bushland on a clear sunny day. Some blue sky is visible.

    @stufromoz

    Thanks 🙂

    Yep, it really was a fantastic day in the bush. 😁 My knee? I'll survive to moan another day! 😂
