When your returning to Trundle, why not turn off on Blow Clear Road for some local folklore and military history of WW2. Follow Blow Clear Road till you come to the Middle Trundle Road interection and pull over and take a look at what you see.
If it was during the WW2 period and you were looking south (back along blow clear Road) you would see:
1. To your left: an air strip was located at the edge of the paddock2. To your right: where the State Forrest is - if you look really hard you can see where the aircaft bays were cut into the tree line. At times planes were located in these bays with camoflague nets drapped over them.
