    Wollongong Singletrack

    Blackbutt reserve down near Shellharbour would probably be your nearest trails. Blackbutt Reserve There is also really good riding at Appin but i don't think you are allowed to ride there these days. Issues with the Aboriginal land council or something. Nothing stopping you from exploring...

    Best areas to live and mountain bike.

    Depends what you're into. It's only a relatively small town. It's more of a touristy town. Has a lot of festivals there. Beechworth is only around half an hour from the major centres of Albury/Wodonga and only 45mins from Bright and the drive between Beechworth and Albury/Wodonga is awesome.

    Psychiatrist booby-traps forest trails with nails, ropes

    Yeh i hate those those stupid trees and animals trying to sabotage our trails and this stupid earth for growing native plants wherever it pleases and leaving us with damp cold trails in the mornings. The parks and wildlife service ought to know about these culprits.
