Head towards Bathurst on the Great Western Highway
Take the first right after the Wallerawang/Portland turn off (Forest Ridge
rd). Go along here for 50m and turn left onto the stub of the the old cement highway.
park any where along here.
Ride down the cement road and look for a gate in the fence on the right. Go through the gate, This is the start of the track.
Follow the boundary road towards Bathurst, looking carefully for the second right. Take this and look for the start of the single track on the left just before the next cross road.
Follow this and when it drops over the pallet back onto the fire rd go left but watch for the 180* left hander right at the bottom of the hill. From here the single track is pretty easy to follow
Look for the remains of tape and plastic arrows. All up the 8hr track is about 10.5 km. There is other stuff in there too, but that's a secret :o)
