Wylde at risk of being Bulldozed!!! M12 Motorway
The Australian and NSW governments are proposing to build a new motorway as part of the Western Sydney Infrastructure Plan (WSIP)
I contacted the Parklands last week asking what is the likelihood the m12 will affect Wylde but have yet to receive a response.

Its hard to see the shape but its a nice pump/roller/jump into a berm.
Looking up from the creek crossing where the new trail runs - currently brush matted.
The trail is all through but needs more work to define the tread and add some more rockwork. So currently its still closed off, but will run from the creek crossing up the hill and traverse under the fields rather than through the mud at the bottom which sucked!
