MTB Dirt

Castlehill or 'Blackstone' as it's also known is a very unique area to ride in. As the name suggests it's primarily located around a hill which has a very rocky soil structure that combines with the climbs to make the area both challenging in skills and fitness. Unlike many areas around Brisbane, this area boasts different flora as well. There's very few eucalypts here but rather more sparse pine growth instead. The area was once used for underground coal mining and some shafts are still present so if you find them stay away, they are quite dangerous. If you stay on the trails you are safe. There's a short downhill track here that has been used in the recent past for local events and many technical xc trails as well.
