Simple Cross Country loop located between Blackfellows Creek and the Walker Road Sporting Precinct, the trail twists and turns throughout a large undulating area. This trail is named after the Manihot Glazivoli tree, which due to its invasive nature almost stopped the trail from being built.
This area will undergo a botanical transformation from weed infested scrub to a planned botanical area over the next few years.

      Trail is running prime at the moment.
      Lots of time spent on it recently

      Fun little ride with my 5yr on his MTB.
      A little overgrown at the moment and thankfully quite dry throughout.

      Fun trail to ride mostly, there are 2 trees on the middle of the track making it too narrow for the bike to go through.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
