The cross country course is designed around the Oxley Recreation Reserve which is relatively flat land of sandy loam soils. The lower part of the course follows the King River flats and creek banks with the start and finish on a higher bank area providing a great view of the course for spectators. All four courses offer a goog variety of solidly built fences to encourage riders and horses early in the season. Some portable fences are used and these are moved to make changes to the course from year to year. Some upgrading has been done.
