Early start of a long day....We always start by letting the tyres down to around 20. The rocks in here are sharp and everywhere, the lower the pressure your willing to run, usually the issues you have.

First stop is about 45 mins in and is what we call the Top Mine, otherwise know as the Beecroft mine. Just before here you can see the lower Sundown mine to the right and up to the left is the old anchor post for a flying fox used to shift materials up and down from this point.

Of to the shute, this is quite a steep downhill with large rocky drop offs and can be a challenge to get back up without a mildly modified vehicle.
