Mount Arapiles-Tooan State Park

Mt Arapiles - Bushwalking Victoria

With the Grampians located an hour south-east towards Melbourne it would be easy to assume that little foot traffic finds it's way past to Mt Arapiles. Not so in the rock-climbing community, this destination is as popular with rope crawlers as you would be led to believe. A beautiful mural defined by deep shades of orange, yellow, and white sandstone whose bauble surface has been drawing, an ever increasing number of climbers since the 70's.

2017 Camel Toe Rally - A fundraising dirt bike ride for men's mental health.

On the 16th September 2017, an intrepid bunch of local dirt bike riders headed out on the annual 'Camel Toe Rally'.

Organised by a few passionate dirt-biking locals - the so called 'Team Camel Toe'; 19 riders attended this ride, to aid in fundraising for the worthy cause of men's mental health :

Rendezvous was in Natimuk, a small town in the state of Victoria, Australia. We had a short brief, then headed out to the trails.

Riding was diverse, we started out doing some beautiful river bank riding and single track . . . then moved on to some sandy and whoopy terrain in the Little Desert :

Lunch then, a scenic ride to the back of Mount Arapiles took us to some more bush single-track in the Tooan State Park.

We arrived back at Shorty's place around 5.00pm, thoroughly satisfied with the days outing. No accidents, a few minor bike issues (Mark and his Beta 350RR had a simple issue that confounded us for a while).

The boys were kind enough to invite me along, and I captured some great footage of the day out. I've edited this together to provide my impression of the day - and hopefully it will serve as a good account of the 2017 Camel Toe Rally.

Awesome fun!
