Access issues:

This is a closed catchment surrounded by an impassable fence. Access only granted after approval by Coliban Water. This is rarely granted. Please do not use this for unofficial training.

Assembly sites:

Only feasible assembly is along the main pipeline access track off Diamond Hill Road through a locked gate. Lots of parking available. It coped with 900 competitors in the Easter carnival of 2012.

Safety Issues:

Old mine shafts are dotted across the map.

Map status:

Mapped by Chris Creely in 2012. Based on lidar data. Being a closed catchment the track network is stable. Absence of controlled burns means the vegetation is stable.
