Carry plenty of water and sun protection—this is exposed country in a hot region. Avoid summer months due to bushfire risk and heat. Wear sturdy off-road cycling shoes or boots. Check track conditions after rain, as gravel tracks can become slippery or severely rutted. Respect other trail users, especially horses.
