This track is a hidden gem. You will find the start next to the cemetery on the dirt road that starts right next to the train crossing on the main road through Rydal. It winds through a beautiful eucalyptus forest and just feels so Aussie. It's all easy/ intermediate and flowing, a great track. Most of the track doesn't have berms, though you can tell they are starting to work on this. The fun is in the back section which you can easily miss.
When the trail comes back out onto the fire trail turn left (instead of the way the trail angles into the fire trail) and continue until the fire trail splits and then immediately comes back together. Right where it comes back together you will see the trail heading off to the right. This is the very fun back section.
Be aware that at some point some one has tried to be helpful and has filled growing ruts and grooves with sand to level it back out. But this often occurs at corners in the trail where you are moving at speed and suddenly you find that you aren't turning but sliding toward trees. So keep your eyes on the trail ahead of you and be alert.
