Before Willow Link went in the only two ways to the backside of Stromlo were via the summit or along the firetrails. Now this is the best and quickest route. The "link" opens up the possibility of a longer loop ride without too much climbing. It runs from the Willow Memorial trail junction to the bottom of Pork Barrel and Slick Rock (also the top of Three Amigos and Double Dissolution). Mostly straight and nearly flat the most challenging parts of this trail are the road crossings.
