Cockayne Alley has been quietly nestled in the bush between Middle Hut on the Cheeseman Ski-field Road and Forest Lodge below for quite a while.
In early 2016 this advanced downhill track was given approval by DOC to become part of the wider Craigieburn Trails network, and as part of this adoption, all historic unapproved wooden structures were removed and the track reinstated and upgraded to improve its long-term sustainability.
Access is from the Middle Hut carpark high on the Cheeseman Ski-field Road (just past the locked gate), sidling across the hillside before dropping on a steep sustained line down to ultimately rejoin the ski-field road just above Timm’s Stream.
Recommended for advanced riders only.
