Hi FMO,
Check out the map in my sig below.
Map gets updated when I can. At this time I don't have a track log for the new stuff. I do all mapping on foot (better quality dataset), then I spend some time tidying the data up before uploading to OSM and tracing onto the map. So it can be a long time between updates.
I forgot that I had uploaded an updated trace for the Hermit's Hut Track (HHT) months back. I have updated OSM and it now shows HHT connecting to the PM Creek Track. Link: http://osm.org/go/uN9hKR5Lg-
Cheers,
CBG.
P.S. I must be getting old. Some bits of the new stuff are too difficult for me.

Seen a few big Goats behind the Buddhist Monastery before. Can only assume they roam around a bit.
Big tree down across Bendi. I didn't have any tools with me. Tree trunk is not on the trail but arm sized branches are blocking the track. I plan to head out and sort this out in the next few days. Should be able to clear it just with a bush saw.

I rode Kentlyn for the first time in a while a few weeks ago and this area is getting better all the time. Respect to the trailbuilders for creating some of the best tech XC trails in Sydney. The Rock Trail still handles wet weather better than any other trail I can think of in the Sydney area too.

Should be in pristine order... the rain would have tightened up the tracks

Sorry. I haven't been around the trails for a few weeks. Christmas got in the way.
In general Kentlyn is predominately sand and tends to dry out quickly. It is normally good to go within a day of prolonged rain. The bridges area is a little different as it seems to have more clay mixed into the soil and I have found over the years that it can take longer to dry out than the rest of the area. Give it an extra day and it should be good to go now the weather has cleared.

We joined it on from rollercoaster, which is only about 70m of trail.
So yeah we did start it from scratch, only the 2 of us took us about 3 months to do.
