Melon Head Trail is a Blue Flow trail which is being rebuilt and will be open later this year. Is getting redesign ed from its original form to allow it to be more intermediate rider friendly to give a easier option for newer riders to downhill and an option for riders not wanting to do the black diamond trails.Look out for information on the Goulburn valley mtb club socials for information on track openings

Access Info

Access is off Mt Major TV road. The land is fenced with a locked gate at TV Access Rd.

Tracks very confusing to follow with little to no signage. Grass has grown over sections leading to us getting lost.
