We headed up to Toowoomba in Queensland for the 4th and final round of the National series, which also doubled as the Oceania Championships. It is not the first time the track had held a major mountain bike event so many racers knew what they were in for. Wrapping up the series for us RFPhotographics again delivers the goods, full results on the MTBA website.
