Year Opened2015
A great flow track from the top to the bottom..a bit of work to keep the speed up on the upper part with great run speed on the last half of the track....some good features with jumps & drop offs(with chicken loops for the faint hearted)....finishing at the junction of Big Dam,fairy wren & dinner camp.
