The start of a well-used path in a gully off Gipps Road. It heads up through steep bush to the old coal mine. The path used to be narrow and follow a single, devious line, but has recently broadened and multiplied as hordes of weekend mountain bikers pursue every potential trajectory of descent. The undergrowth, which had been a tangle of lantana, has receded to be replaced by muddy banked curves, packing crate jumps, chain wheel scratched boulders and more or less dense sections of trees.
