South of Canberra are the Tinduary Mountains, I grew up riding trails there 30 years ago and spent last week there doing the same, its not a legal place to ride but was on my bucket list to do again; rode 200k a day in the best trails I have ever been on. Was worth the 2600k drive.
Not VMX, but last time I rode there was on my new RM125N in 1979 - it was a great week, found the top of the range and got out unscathed!
