They are accessed from the Midland Highway. BBQs are provided. Walking tracks can be followed north from these areas to Hepburn Springs. Note that the area south of the Midland Highway is out of bounds until after the Day 3 event. Mainly open eucalypt vegetation on undulating- steep spur gully terrain.
Longer courses traverse some areas of prickly hakea so full body cover is recommended.
There are some small remnant gold mining areas. The area is predominantly spur gully terrain with scattered areas of gold mining resulting in deep erosion gullies. Directions are the same as Day 1. There are a limited number of bikes available for hire. O Glen Iris, Melbourne on Wednesday 18 April.
