Hi everyone

I haven't been to the above area for a while.  Can someone please give me 
specific instructions of how to get into/close to
the following, and/or comment on how the bush is:

McGraths Hill - The last instructions I had were:
Go into Mulgrave Road.  Go 100 metres and on the left is high school and dog 
pound.  Drive through gates and there is a bay
to park in, outside dog pound property.  Walk down driveway 10-15 metres - 
there is small fence and a gap in the fence which
you are allowed to go through.

Pitt Town Lagoon
Apart from going down to the end of Church Street and standing there at the 
fence, is there any further/closer access?
What about Lagoon Road - is it possible to drive on that road with a 2WD car 
please?

Bushells Lagoon
Seems to be a private access road through the Lagoon.  Is it possible to go any 
further than the gates on Brewers Lane and
from the Argyle Reach Road end????

Longneck Lagoon, with entry from Whitmore Road.  Used to be great - Still any 
good?  Bush unaffected by fires?

At the corner of Whitmore Road and Pitt Town Dural Road, you used to be able to 
walk into the bush which is now Scheyville
National Park.  Is this area okay / unaffected by bushfires?

Many thanks in advance.  Advice by Thursday 7 November would be much 
appreciated as I might be taking some people to these
areas on the weekend.

Cheers and Happy Times with Nature
