Why not try… MOUNTAIN BIKING??!!
by Megan
1. Makara Peak
A dedicated MTB Park with a huge network of trails ranging from beginner to expert. Set in native bush with amazing single tracks and so much more!
Have a play around on this link, there’s heaps of info on the tracks and even a first timer’s guide!

2. Wind Turbine/Hawkins Hill
From Brooklyn head up to the wind turbine to find plenty of variety with tracks, jumps and more! You can follow 4WD tracks to Red Rocks or the WWII bunkers, head down the infamous Tip Track, or turn around and ride single track + jumps through to Makara Peak. Approximately 40mins - 1 hour of uphill to get there from town.
3. Mount Vic
There is a crazy network of trails all over Mount Vic. Start at the top and make your way down the different tracks. Then turn around and do it all again! So many options to try! Can also follow the town belt around to jumps at Karitane. Ride-able on your lunch break because it’s so close!
This topic gives you an idea of the place:
