COURSE SETTER'S NOTES:

Classic spur-gully terrain, with some limited scattered granite in the south east of the map visited by the longer courses (Hard 1-4). The map has received significant recent updates including reworked lidar contours (Bob Allison), lidar vegetation (Paul de Jongh), and substantial fieldwork (Rohan Hyslop and Tate Needham). Some of the forest is amazingly open and it is beautifully green at the moment, it must be one of the few areas in south east Australia with no evidence of being burnt, though some areas are thicker than others.

Between 10:00 and 12:00. Queuing starts.

There is a 800m walk from the assembly area to the start for all courses.

COURSE CLOSURE:
