Also, rescue mission Zack & Vera.  Next day we started from Atherton Mountainbike Park parking entrance, which is Rifle Range Road passing mountain bike trails 1 to 9, all the way up to a clearing called ‘fourways’.  If you turn left you continue Rifle Range Road to top of Herberton range.  If you turn right (and then further down turn left) you go to mount Wallum where they got stuck in a washout boghole.  Later that week we revisited and tried to connect to fourways from Herberton range entrance but it was wet and slippery.

We had to <insert here> as the chain got bunched up underneath the front sprocket.  Ran out of daylight and trail disappeared 2kms from base.  3 meter drop into creek bed, slide bikes under 1 meter gap of fallen gum tree, and cross 1 meter deep water hole with split rock climb.  Respect.  Also best 2nd attempt hill climb ever.
