Re: Serpentine
Its boggy in places, if you can't see the bottom of some of the waterholes perhaps best avoid them - they have decent ruts in the bottom.

Re: surpintine
Yes its a local track, and its Serpentine :) . There are 3 was to get to it, but the one from Millers Flat is a bit rougher, probably pay to take a 2nd vehicle. Rough as in rocky steep or as in swampy and muddy? Im a safari and am looking at doing it alone... what ya reckon if weather has been good?
