Description
A useful connecting road that provides access to several other tracks including the tops of Downpipe and Mr X, plus Fenceline. Gun Pit 2 and Gun Pit 3 also branch off this road.
The road has a slight slope at each end, but nothing dramatic.
The most prominent feature of this track is the large, flat grassy area that it passes. This was a parade ground used by the military during construction of the Wrights Hill Fortress in the 1940s.
Getting there
Starts at a steel barrier in a small alcove 0.3km from the lower car park or 0.2km from the upper car park.
Ends at a T-intersection with Fenceline.
Other notes
The parade ground is a designated dog exercise area, within which dogs are allowed to be off the leash.
