SaveWork in this area started with the development of the Sidewinder Track then the Douglas Hill Track. Both of these trails are now complete.
We envisage trails in this area will cater for riders from novice to expert grade. Kaka Track has now been completed and provides the best uphill access to the Big Bush Loop Track. We have approval to regrade the uphill track 7 at the west end of Big Bush to make it rideable.
Track 8, the 1.8km Duck Down, was completed in February 2015.
Track 10, Flying Moa commenced construction May 2015.
Rattler Rim, not shown on the map, will be an easy track on the south side of Teetotal Road running along the escarpment above the river flats. It will provide and alternative to riding the road after riding Sidewinder, Douglas Hill or Flying Moa. Construction will start late 2015.
Rocky Horror Show is an existing downhill track for advanced riders. The name describes it.
Track 12 will be a link between the St Arnaud Village and Teetotal Flat that will avoid having to ride on the main highway. Awaiting final legal sign-off.
Track 5 is a proposed easy loop track to the north-east of the village utilising a section of old legal road and returning beside the highway with a loop around the old moraine near the former dump site.
