Photographs & descriptions
Track 8 >>
This section has both extensive grass-tree dieback and earth work features. The dieback is clearly associated with the track (not yet marked on this map).
The density of dieback along this track is very high. Substantial burn construction has been undertaken along a creek, including a section that is reminiscent of the luges that are used by bob-sleders at the winter olympics!
A short track with quite a lot of dead grass trees.
Track H >>
This track/road was not created by the mountain-bike riders. Dieback is evident along the entire length. These have been photographed, but a return suvey is needed to better establish the distribution.
