Beginners and kids, this trail is for you. No climbing or descending, just super easy riding on dirt, in the bush, weaving amongst the trees. Merges into Oh What a Feeling towards the end.

      When I was about halfway up the track there were these two kangaroos that were there that I had to go through the bushes to get past. So if doing the track I recommend looking out for kangaroos

      Should we spit this trail into Scrub Pythons and Thursdays as signposted on site?
