With the countdown officially on to Newtons's Playground - the first Mount Panorama Gravity Fuelled Festival, organisers are finalising their plans for the circuit setup, in particular, how to soften the impact that some riders will inevitably experience when they come unstuck on some of the Mountain's most treacherous corners.

Over 2,000 hay bales have officially been ordered from local suppliers in the Bathurst region, the majority of which will be focused on the hazardous corners known as Forrest's Elbow, The Esses & the Dipper.
