Getting on top of Cotter Dam

Anyone know if this is possible on a bike?

Went up around there this afternoon, it sort of made sense to turn down Settlement Rd but I wussed out at the 'No Unauthorised Entry" signs ACTEW had up.

Is it just a case of bite the bullet and go up?

Yep it’s doable, I did it on my cx. Fairly runny gravel, but manageable incline. Not particularly memorable. When I did it there were no actew signs. I also walked up a few times with the kids.

Have you tried from the carpark half way up Mt McDonald? It looks like there’s walking tracks up there.

I have always wanted to zipline across on the low hanging powerlines from Mt MacDonald

Ok, i’ll wing it. I’m hoping for a nice enough view comparable to Corin for when I don’t have the juice to get all the way there. Used to hate the climb out of the Cotter but somehow I smash it these days.
