There are plenty of ways down from the saddle of the hill from here, but this one is particularly fun. Narrow singletrack on the top becomes wider and rockier before finishing in a sunken drover's road near the bottom.

It also has the added advantage of not requiring such a stiff climb out again!

Multiple lines at the top turn into a chunky fast and techy track, loads of fun.
