A rapid descent from the Harvey St access track, initially with a rooty section with plenty of rutty goodness, followed by a flat out charge along a gradual decline through the bush with berms, rooty steps and drops, ending at a 4 way intersection with other trails. Also works well as a climbing track as the majority is wide enough to allow easy passing.

This trail is unsanctioned.
