The Track has heaps of technical rock gardens which will get the hear pumping, also it has up hills that will burn your legs. but the view at the end is very spectacular. Well worth the pain. Highly would recommend it to anybody.

Make sure you watch out for horse riders, and dismount your bike to let them pass.

 Mint. Big Hill is very loose but the rest is superb and dried out nicely.

 Dry and good condition. 75% of the way to the lookout, there is one very steep incline with loose ground, and had to dismount and walk up - thank...

      Trail completely regraded by NPWS in late 2023 and riding generally very smoothly. Big Hill is now very loose again, however.

      Lots of water and mud, but you can ride through it. A few sections where erosion means you might walk a little. A very fun ride with a rewarding view at the end

      Wouldn’t recommend riding after a fair bit of rain. Nice trail with a nice view at the end
