Description

Linking route from SH / 8 Mile Gate Road intersection through to Sandstone Rd to avoid going on 8 Mile Gate Rd. The the SH end, there is a single track link cut through to an old forestry road - Phillips Road. This is now effectively a single lane trail. At Sandstone, it comes out opposite Lookout Road up to No Brains, or turn right to head towards main trail area. Great connector for a loop ride.
