Not entirely ...
You can camp inside the Innabaanya fence line (the thin blue line) - but that costs extra. what you cannot do is Camp in the solo pit row area. That is only for support activities for the riders. You could, in theory, camp immediately behind one of the 3x3 solo pit support areas, as long as you were in one of the outside rows.

Only if there is spare space. Otherwise, they'll be up near the back fence.

I've only been to Majura once - would I be correct in saying that the north east part of that proposed circuit is a fire roacd climb following a fenceline over looking a crop area of some kind? From memory that climb had a couple of nice ruts in it.
Also, any climbing at the southern tip, or is that still on the flat part. I remember some great slightly steeper tracks in that WSW area, any chance of hitting them?

Thanks for the info, I'm presuming its first in best dressed for camping space and pit spots or are pits nominated by you guys?

The proposed course map appears to follow the singletrack up the hill in the north there. The firetrail you're remembering is the orange road that goes right against the perimiter of the area, and the yellow proposed course line is inside that. If it's the track I'm thinking of, it's quite a reasonable climb although not super long, steepish, on "wide" singletrack if that makes sense.
The steep parts in the south are all on the west of the central north/south firetrail, so the proposed course in the south is all on the relatively gently-sloping eastern bit.

Ahh... brings back really good memories.
For anyone interested here is a video we made in 2009 following Jess. I was asked not to show this video until about now, as it appeared on a TV show in Melbourne. But I think I can share it now.

Well its official, I'm in!
*a murmur ripples aroun the room... then a burst of laughter around the room as betting on the favourites tightens and I get listed at 1000-1* hmmm at those odds I might put a $1 on myself - you never know, an asteroid impact COULD wipe out every one of my competitors
