Start in melbourne, and do a tour of the east coast north, you could get as far as Cairns, but bloody hell it will take a while

Include the stromlo track, and of course thredbo. Have never actually been, but heard its knarly!

I think AMB said Mt Stanley was the longest DH run in Australia.

Yeah, I think b.h. would be hard to beat for length... that track nearly kills you when you try racing it!!!

There are some places here that have some good detail on trails in Beechworth & You Yangs which both feature good downhill options and where to stay.

If you head up north of sydney go to Awaba and Ourimbah.

Its not far out of sydney and there great tracks!

In Victoria definently check out the You Yangs

I think you should try to grab as many AMB magazines as possible.
They will give you many tracks to ride from Cross country to DH to Dirt Jumps
