Over the last 4 years, Falls Creek has been developing single track mountain bike trails. On Saturday, 19th November the trails are set to double with stage 4 official opening to riders. Blue Dirt will be hosting the inaugural ‘Ignition’ weekend of fun with demo bikes, drift bikes, guided tours, shuttles and a beer hall to entertain everyone. They will also be operating vehicle shuttle services, bike hire, skill clinics every weekend for the entire summer.
“During the peak holiday period, from 26th December, Blue Dirt, will be operating every day for the month” says Falls Creek Resort Management Marketing & Communications Manager, Jo Prothero. “Last summer saw a big increase in riders so we are looking forward to continuing that trend this summer with the opening of several beginner trails and the epic Flowtown trail connecting the Summit all the way to Howman’s Gap.”
In addition to mountain bike riding, visitors can enjoy road cycling, trail running, kayaking and hiking, to name a few activities. The kids will be entertained throughout January with a daily kid’s club, including activities such as fishing, nature walks, cooking and games.
Collingwood Football Club will return for the third time this November to put their players through a training camp utilising the resorts many natural attributes, which is a testament to what is on offer at home rather than travelling overseas. The Australian junior cross country team will also host a dry land camp in November.
Events play a big part on the calendar and commence in November. The resort comes to life with visitors’ taking advantage of the cooler temperatures and unique natural surroundings. We are biased but can’t think of a better way to avoid the crowds at the beach this summer.
