25.01.2022 TRAIL CLOSURES DUE TO RECENT HIGH WIND AND RAIN EVENT Dreaming Pools Wedged In Garnup... At this stage the rest of the trails are open and are riding well but we can't stress the importance of being aware of the trail conditions. Following trail inspections today unfortunately we have to close the above trails due to the recent weather events. The events have caused a large amount of trees and debris to fall on the trails and they are not safe to ride. We are working diligently to rectify the situation but unfortunately they won't be open until possibly late next week, however we will open the trails as soon as practicable and we will provide updates on this page as the clean up work progresses. We apologise for any inconvenience but safety is paramount.
