Road regraded 12/13 April 2011
Travelling south
Travelling north, the corner has safety markers which make a tight corner, forcing vehicles to the right.
Note: there is a blind corner about 40 metres past the pegged corner. If two vehicles meet at this point, there is only one lane!
Road widening was carried out in June 2009 by Bellingen shire council to create a single lane, with some safety margin away from the crumbling edge of the road.

Note: the tyre track is only 300mm from the road drop off.
The concrete at the edge of the road was installed to support a concrete drain after a hole appeared in the road.
The same corner but driving north.
After the rain, the unwary would keep to the left to avoid the puddle and go very close to the edge!
The recommended solution for reconstructing corners involving water flows are concrete splashways
