Planners Notes: The terrain varies from flat to undulating. Many single trails and 4WD tracks exist across the area, with Motorbikes and 4WD’s very active in the area, particularly in the quarry area to the Southwest of the map. Forest cover varies from fast, open to areas of thicker vegetation and reduced visibility and runnability, particularly in some of the creek areas. Watercourses to the Northeast of the map include some erosion, care should be taken when entering and crossing these watercourses. The map has been extended to the North and some courses utilise this section of the map. Full body cover is recommended. A section of the map immediately to the Southwest of the Assembly area is not part of the National Park and is marked Out of Bounds on the Map. Please do not enter this area. Courses have been set to avoid any route choice through the Out of Bounds Area. No drink controls have been set for this event, please carry your own water if required.
Special Notes: Very Easy and Easy courses have an option to follow a linear watercourse as a shorter route from the last control to the finish. This is optional and a clear route by track is also available.
