Mt Egbert - The Granites

Suitability: World class Middle Distance terrain- open, fast and in parts highly  technical.

Land Manager: Parks Victoria

Access Issues: 

• Dja Dja Wurrung - the area has a number of cultural sites.

• In wet weather the land off tracks is prone to bogging. The tracks in general are not being maintained. Some minor ones have become impassable.

Assembly sites: 

1. Parking along the Old Boort Road. Lots of space and little traffic. Competitor instructions. 

2.  An old picnic ground off the Korong-Vale - Wytchitella Rd. The road in can be rough. Its a good distance from the best terrain so probably best used as a gathering area for cactus kill expeditions instead. Competitor instructions.

Safety Issues: In wet weather some slopes are slippery.
