The track is a coupla kays inland from Koumala, coming from Mackay you go through town and take your first right , there should be signs from there , if you can't find it I'll give you our number before we go.
Plenty of accom , We stayed at Mackay [30 mins away] last year, And a few guys stayed at Sarina [ 15 mins away] or camp at the track.  |

| I think we should have a few from townsville burdekin area coming to ride. I recomend that everyone rides this track as its awesome, fast and safe. I think there should be 6 of us coming but i wont know until it gets closer |

There is toilets there , I can't recall if there was showers , they held a round of the Aussie mx titles there late last year and I believe they had to improve facilites to accomodate , just unsure if they were permanent or temporary  |

phone 0427103540 ,
from memory , turn right just south of Koumala before or around the 100km/h sign, head into the canefield's a few km and you should be able to see it off to your righthand side up on a hill, turnright .
We will prob head out the track about 7 ish,
