This was a low score because I could not finish the trail, and have no idea what 2/3 of the track was like. About 2km in on the uphill section there is a cabbage tree across the track, and we could see no easy safe way through. This trail has reportedly been run this year though; I would love to know the trick to that tree - perhaps you need to be tall to be able to take a first step up?! Either way, can the next person who goes up here please take a chainsaw or machete! Frustrating adventure but an adventure nonetheless.

This is a neat trail with a good variety of terrain. Bush, paddocks, hills, good views and the odd feral goat. Lots of fun.

This trail is one of my favourites. It is only 30 min from home and has a mix of farm track, single track and big hills. Beware the wet though as there is a fair amount of clay on the climb between about 1.5 to 3.5 km.
Also there are some fiesty magpies that are quite territorial and do a bit of swooping especially in the spring and summer.
The sheep were in chorus today and made great entertainment.
