Just a reminder entries close next Monday.

Camping is available on site and maps will be sent out shortly. The trial site is just out of Hoskinstown - SE of Queanbeyan.

Directions to Trial site.

From Queanbeyan head out on the Kings Highway heading for Bungendore/Braidwood/Batemans Bay
At the roundabout approx 2 km out of Queanbeyan take the Captains Flat Road towards Captains Flat.
Go down the Captains Flat Road for 13.4 km
Turn left onto Briars Sharrow Road and travel 1.3km
Take the first right onto Briars Hoskinstown Road.
Travel 6.3km and turn right onto Bungendore Captains Road.
Hoskinstown is approx 1 km – just a couple of houses.
Just past the houses turn left onto Forbes Creek Road (gravel) You will pass a church on your left.
Continue on Forbes Creek Road a little way. On the left will be a road with a gate which will be open and mail boxes one of which says “Orana Moon” Travel down this road past the houses on the left till the road ends. The gate in front of you will say “Orana Moon” Open gate and follow track. Don’t forget to close the gate behind you.

Just a few road corrections might help a little.

'Take the first right onto Briars Hoskinstown Road' This is 'PLAINS ROAD'.
Travel 6.3km and turn right onto Bungendore Captains Road. This is 'HOSKINSTOWN ROAD'.
On the left will be a road with a gate which will be open and mail boxes. This is 'SHEEHAN ROAD'.

If anyone needs directions from Sydney, Im happy to help. Looking forward to the weekend.

Could we have some directions for those of us coming up the Hume from Victoria. Particularly an address that can be put into the GPS, saves alot of arguments.

Cheers
