Cross the road and continue climbing up the hill.
Just before the water tanks, take a right turn onto Turbine MTB trail and follow it to Wombat’s Ramble, heading up 20meters and linking on Generator down MTB trail and continue. once near Haileys Comet chairlift, you’ll make a right-hand turn onto the road, cross it, and follow the Broadway Ski Run down to the wooden wind fences. Take the first right onto a grassy snowmobile trail that will lead you down through some enchanted snowgums and down to the Big Fella water tanks.
From the water tanks, take another right onto Orys ski run and continue downhill until you reach the aqueduct. At the aqueduct, turn right and follow the trail back to Wombat’s Ramble. When you reach Wombat’s Ramble, take Jump Start MTB trail to your left and follow it all the way back to the finish line.
