Woady Yaloak is a wee bit South of Ballarat, on flat land. Having said that, there are small undulations in the land - not dissimilar to those found on a BMX track - and each one of those is cleverly used to get you jumping either up the hill, or down the hill.
Most of the jumps are either natural obstacles, or made of unpainted wood. No scary looking chook houses or trains here. Most of the jumps are about 65cm or so, which makes it look like a really nice beginners Intro course. And then you get to the brush, with the ditch before it. The brush is a serious 80cm, and the ditch adds a fair bit of scare factor.
In addition, the event is keen to become a serious contender on the eventing calendar, so you can expect some new jumps to appear in the future.
If it wasn't for that ditch-brush fence, then I would rate this as the most inviting Intro course I have seen to date. However, because of this fence I would make it your third attempt at Intro.
As a side note, parking at this even was an issue. The organisers are aware of this.
