Ha ha, it looks rather 'remote' from the pictures i've seen so far.  Is it the venue for the Worlds next year?
With the amount of high profile riders from Australia they really ought to have a round I suppose?

ISnt the question on everyones lips
"why have we travelled half way around the world for a course with such a small height drop"

I heard its 210metres vertical and a 3 minute course - that makes it very very pedally  usually wc courses drop 150-200 metres/minute
