Land Owner
Fairly easy cross country orientated trail that slowly descends into the creek. Transition through the creek and back to the parking area. May have water in the creek to add to the fun. sadly that hasn't been for some time.
Be aware that cows have sometimes used this trail to access the creek and you may encounter them or their distinctive smelly cow pats. Keep thy mouth closed.
Access Info
From Manilla (approx 10mins to Mt Borah), drive through town and then head north over the Namoi River Bridge. Turn left 200m after bridge into Boggabri Rd (you will see a paraglider graphic left pointer sign) Don't drive straight ahead to Barraba and Upper Manilla as directed by most Car GPS Navi units.
Continue on for ~1km and just after Manilla River concrete bridge turn right into Wimbourne Rd (you will see a paraglider graphic right pointer sign). After 300m Wimbourne Rd has a T intersection where you continue to the right.
Continue on for ~11kms (its gravel after 6kms). There are two big creek dips as you travel. Just after the 2nd big dip (gully crossing) at 11kms turn right into Manilla Paragliding sign posted driveway.
NOTE: Mt Borah access road is 50m further along Wimbourne Rd on left.
