Track should be reasonably well-defined; check signposting on arrival. Terrain requires steady bike control and suitable tyres for unpacked earth.
Good to know
- Open to cyclists
Carry water despite the short distance—summer heat builds quickly in the hills. Avoid during high bushfire danger (Dec–Feb). Suitable for hybrid or mountain bikes with good grip; road bikes not recommended. Spring wildflowers are a bonus. Check local conditions before riding after heavy rain.
