I believe the car must have gained access from the southern side of the basin or the sporting field (McCoy) as there were no tracks evident from where we enter. The damage done to both strips is now the worst I have ever seen it.

Hmm - we left the field at about 1:30pm after a lazy morning's flying and the bikers were already on the scene. They'd been over on the southern side for a while by that stage and were ripping up bucket-loads of mud there. I'd kind-of thought they'd satisfied themselves and that they'd have no need to work our side over as well. Didn't see a car though - would probably have had to be a 4WD to get across any part of the creek, as I doubt a sedan could negotiate it without getting bogged.
