One day to ride in SA - need advice

I have a family trip to SA next week. I have one day to ride somewhere near Adelaide and was hoping to get some recommendations on where to ride from some locals?

I am from WA and probably a medium level rider, have competed in a few gravity enduro events and generally like to ride blue and some black type trails. I currently ride a Specialized Enduro 29. I am going to need to hire a bike too.

I am staying in Barmera which is about 2.5 hours out of Adelaide but will be driving to where ever to ride for the day. Probably look at doing 20-30km in the morning, then another 20km after lunch.

Any advice on which trails to ride and somewhere to hire a dually?

Cheers
Morgan

Although it was maybe five years ago I have used http://www.bikeabout.com.au/ and highly rate them. They delivered to the trail head at Fox Creek and even went back to the shop to get some pedals when it turned out I had left mine at the hotel. Although back then the Fox Creek trail network was nowhere near what it has evolved into now, I raced a national gravity enduro round there in 2014 and the trails are among the best in the country.

Fox Creek, gravity trails, XC and DH all in one place, more trails than you can ride in one day and even with a shuttle you would have a full day to cover them all.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the advice. Fox Creek looks good. What about Eagle Mtb Park

Any suggestions on where to hire a bike from? A couple of the places I have searched seemed to have base model xc bikes. Looking for a good trail/AM bike with a dropper post - Trance, Reign, Remedy, stumpjumper, camber. I dont want to be too picky but looking for a reasonable quality bike.
