The Telstra Track runs along the Greendale - Trentham Road from near the Long Gully Road intersection (at the top of the hill as you come up from Greendale) and runs northwards to around the Old Golden Point Road area as you come into Blackwood. The track is essentially an easy track to ride along as it merely follows the road and follows the Telstra cable easement. The trail is shown in red in the map above.
The easement is used by motorcycles which has created a track with washouts, puddles and the like which makes for an easily navigable and fast ride on a slightly undulating track. Probably best in summer time as winter rains can readily leave large bog holes but these can usually be circumnavigated.
The following photo gallery has been taken of the Telstra Track running from north to south along the Greendale - Trentham Road. They are taken fromĀ the Morning Star track intersection down towards the intersection with Mt Blackwood Road. The Telstra Track also forms part of the Charcoal Half Pipe circuit and further photos are contained in that ride's notes. The trail varies from fire trail quality down to almost single track where motorbikes have been the only traffic in recent times.
The Dale's Creek area of the Telstra Track is detailed in the Charcoal Half Pipe circuit ride notes.
