Land OwnerSnowy Valleys Council
Good fun alternate descent to For Pete's Sake. Fast and Open with berms and slightly bigger jumps. Everything is still roll-able, bit of extra climb to reach descent.
Red Basalt Soil can be very sticky when wet.
Access Info
Trail peels off to the left just as For Pete's Sake starts to descend.
