Those ruins look wicked mate, it would be mad to see them. That spot where you found the locked gates into Airly is the same spot we went a couple years back and found the same. From my understanding they will not be reopening and are closed due to mine subsidence making the area unsafe. That is at least the excuse I've found. Turon Nat Park is a nice drive with some good river crossings. Water levels looked low from when I was there. Also, nice set up in the Troopy. How damn good is it to be able to pull up and set up in literally minutes.
