Further to Con's message it would seem that a safe approach for those who feel compelled to use Horse Park Drive is to turn left into Anthony Rolfe Avenue and then, in the words of Mr Plod, proceed to Gozzard St where turn right and go to Gundaroo Drive.  Possibly there is a roundabout here - another right and then right at the traffic lights at Horse Park Drive.  A left turn over the drain gets you to the meeting point

An extract from Google Maps is attached to help you through the appalling suburb design: one of the many failures of TAMS and/or the  Land Development Agency. .

Many thanks.  I suggest that aiming to approach from Gundaroo Drive so that one is turning left would be a good option.

Just a word of caution, if I may.
Horse Park drive gets very busy and those of us who have done Woodland surveys and have tried to turn off across oncoming traffic have found it to be dangerous. Other drivers behind you, including numerous construction industry big vehicles, just don't expect you to stop and so travel too fast to stop safely themselves. There have been some near misses. The technique we have used is to go on and come back so that you are just pulling off the road.

The next Wednesday Walk is on 21 March at Mulligans Flat. 

The first attachment shows the meeting place (at 9am) taking a small track off Horse Park Drive over a drain to near the fence around the Reserves. 

Exactly where we go will depend upon the extent of the deluge over the next 2 weeks but we will probably enter the Sanctuary through Daisy or Snake gates and  splash around South of the Old Coach Road. These are illustrated in the second attachment (a larger, and easier to read version of this is on the TAMS website somewhere, but I have been unable to locate it)
