Elite tackle the tough Para Wetland section


The Para Wetland area of trail is taking shape. Greg and the team at Elite are making great progress tackling a tricky and complex area.


- Rock breaking has taken a couple of weeks, but they are now through the toughest part.


-Top course has been laid to provide you with a safe and durable trail surface.


- New retaining walls are due to be installed over the next few weeks. But with the uncertain weather and festive season fast approaching, we are hoping that this will be completed in late summer.


This stunning and unique section through the wetlands has presented us with a few challenges, but the dedication and expertise of everyone involved is driving steady progress.


Thanks to the commitment of the crew, we’re on track to open this part of the trail towards the end of summer.
