Ironstone Hill

Map suitability:

A small area of low relief terrain saved by some interesting mining detail. Suitable for a middle distance style event.

Manager:

Parks Victoria

Access issues:

No vehicle access to the terrain. Gates are normally locked unless vandalised.
Small area of private land associated with Industrial Conveyers. This hosts a very good parking area and a little mining detail. Organisers would need to seek permission to use this land. If permission is not sought or obtained, course setters should make this area out of bounds using Condes.
Lots of surrounding suburbia. Past experience recommends locking every control solidly.

Assembly sites:

Lots of parking on Callaghan St. A dead end road so minimal traffic.
Tackaberry St has a limited area of parking for a small local event. It requires competitors to cross a busy road.
Industrial Conveyers car park if permission is granted.

Safety Issues:

Heavy traffic on Epsom Eaglehawk Road on the northern edge of map.

Map Status:

Very current. Mapped by Neil Barr in 2016 using a lidar base.
