Two great choices Saturday afternoon but its one or other- not both! The start point is on the rail trial behind Wondai Town Hall. (same start point for all our events) and run through the picturesque McEuen forest which is adjoining Wondai township. This cross country course is an undulating forest trail through beautiful towering Spotted Gum and Wattle woodland. We will have a timing mat half way and a sweeper to ensure everyone home safe!
