Notes (a) The area has an extensive track network. Some low areas are wet and muddy though most tracks are dry except in a few places. There are some large erosion gullies with fallen trees at the edges so take care in those areas. There is some rubbish on the map which includes rusty corrugated iron, household appliances and car wrecks. The old rubbish tip is marked as Out Of Bounds and marked on the map with pink hatched lines - do not enter or cross this area (only Long Moderate and Hard courses go near this area). Very Easy and Easy Courses follow a dry watercourse for a short way.
(b) TRAIL BIKES and 4WD’s use the area. KEEP OUT OF THEIR WAY.
(c) The area does contain SPIKEY VEGETATION. Hard courses (mostly Hard Medium and Long) may wish to have full body cover (long pants and long sleeves).
(d) 1. Brown triangle represents small termite mounds. Meat- ant nests are NOT SHOWN.
- Prominent tree-root mounds are shown with a green X. There may be new unmapped tree root mounds due to a strong recent wind storm knocking over several large trees.
- Streamer trails are shown on relevant maps with pink/ purple dashes.
(e) At least 5 helpers are needed to collect controls at every event.
