'Jericho' is a 1:10000 scale, undulating to steep spur gully map with scattered rock and a complex creek system. Leg covering is recommended due to long grass and seeds, but this should be reduced at this time of year. To minimize the spread of weeds, could you please ensure your shoes and equipment are seed/weed free on arrival, and cleaned again before your next event.
