Track Directions
Yellowmundee Regional Park
Coming from Penrith or Castle Hill direction
From the M4, take the 2nd Penrith exit (the "Mulgoa Rd" exit - not "Northern Rd") Follow Mulgoa Rd past Penrith, going straight ahead now at the roundabout (regatta centre is down to the left). Stay with that road until you see the major Left turn into Springwood Road (some call it Hawkesbury Road) which goes to Springwood. You will pass a number of creeks. When you pass over Shaws Creek about 150 mtrs on the left is the entrance into Yellowmundee Regional Park. Just follow the fireroad to the race venueComing from Springwood direction
From the Great Western Highway, turn into Hawkesbury Road (aka Springwood Road) which takes you through Winmalee. (If you are coming from Sydney you make a left hand turn first which takes you through Springwood and over the GWHighway. The turnoff is about 1km past the Valley Heights Railway Station.) Keep following Hawkesbury Road and eventually you will do a steep descent with a sequence of about 5 hairpins. When you get to the bottom, about 50mtrs on the right is the entrance into Yellowmundee Regional Park. Just follow the fireroad to the race venue.
