Bush 7: WA LD Champs

This premier event of the year is being held at Marginata, in springtime with lots of wildflowers. The terrain has a mix of open forest with small sections of slower running vegetation and some reduced visibility. The map covers both sides of Yarra Road, with the eastern side recently burnt by a prescribed fire, which makes for faster running and better visibility. With the burn off, the clearings will not be as easy to recognise. Entry for championship classes closes on Sunday Aug 13th.
