Kowen was the site of a few 24hr races while Stromlo was out of action, including the freezingest race ever when it snowed the night before. At the time it was a pretty bumpy course, and I've read that moto guys ride there and rip it up even more, so it could be hard work. And it's like a maze in there, I never had any idea where I was, so take a GPS or a local!

Sounds like Red hill, A maze and ripped up from Motos

at Sparrow or Stromlo there is a main trail at Sparrow & you keep the carpark in your sights for Stromlo haven't done Majura yet . Morgan is down that way I think he might tell you more & I have seen a map on Tuggeranong looks ok
