This specially built figure-of-eight Superspecial runs in Gloucester Park, under five minutes away from the Langley Park service area. It's very good for spectators as the cars run side-by-side and there's a big jump in the middle of the track. The road is very wide and you will see the cars sliding around as it's almost a constant radius. Last year it was a complete sell-out crowd.

The stage takes place near the town of Dwellingup and is the most southerly of the rally. It's also known for being badly affected by rain as as 80% of the route is covered by trees so if the road gets damp, it stays damp for a long time. It's a tricky stage as speeds are high and it's quite flowing so tyre choice here will be critical. There's a difficult series of jumps about 5km in and you've got to get exactly the right line otherwise you will go off.

Although this stage takes place in the same forest as Murray North, this test is much more open. It's a similar road, but there are far fewer trees so if it rains, it will dry out much more quickly. The stage starts very fast and then crosses a bridge nicknamed 'Rob's Crossing' 7-8km from the start.

A very short stage last used in 2003. It has been shortened since then, but still has a very fast start and finish with tricky junctions in the mid-section. It's quite a narrow road and you can expect to see big ruts developing as more and more cars go through the stage.

This is one of the most difficult stages of the event as it's very fast and flowing, but also very undulating. There are lots of junctions and some very big jumps, which slows the average speed, but between the sections you can be going pretty quickly. It's a real drivers stage and you must be very precise.

This stage was run in the opposite direction last year. It's a much sandier surface than the other stages and will rut pretty badly when more cars have been through. Towards the end of the stage it goes through farmland, which is quite unusual as most of the event is run in the forests. There are lots of rocks on the side of the road, so cutting will not be an option!

All of the Bannister stages are run through a privately owned pine plantation and have been part of the rally since 1988. There is no base to the road as the routes have been made for logging and, as a result, they're pretty soft and are well-known for rutting quite quickly. The first nine kilometres are the same as last year, but from then on it's a mixture of routes from previous years. The main feature of this stage is the big jumps with quick sections between them and 14.5km from the start there's a huge jump where the cars literally take off. Nevertheless it's the famous Bunnings jumps and water splash at the finish that most people remember.

This stage starts right in the middle of a spectator area then goes right over the 'Shinozuka' bridge named after a Japanese driver. The road then goes into the forest with some flat-out straights and is the quickest stage of the rally. The last few kilometres can be badly rutted and it's not unusual for you to see cars with their underbody on the road and it can be very easy to lose steering in this section. Basically it's a big loop as we end up not far from where we started.

Other than the Superspecial, this is the shortest stage of the event. It's so short so the liaison between stages isn't too far, but it's very, very quick for the first 1.5km. After this point the road turns left and then back on itself, almost running parallel. After a left-right section we run up over some rocks to the end of the stage.

Although this is one of the shortest stages, a lot can happen in this distance. After one kilometre we go through a series of narrow left bends through lots of trees and very close to rocks. It's the same route as last year and if it's wet, it will be very slippery especially in the last 1.5km that have a clay base. There's a steep uphill left hairpin bend 3.5km from the start but after that we go down, following the path of a water pipeline.

Two 2004 stages have been joined together to make this new stage. It's very fast at the start and then goes through a series of dips and crests where the cars can become airbourne. After a junction left we then run along the edge of a planted pine forest, which can be very slippery. We then come to a more open area in a natural forest, but there are still lots of rocks by the side of the road so you can't cut too much. After going back into the pines, It's a bit like a rollercoaster as there are lots of steep crests and downhill parts in this point and you finish with a big fifth or sixth gear jump. It's the longest stage of the rally so you really do need to get it right.

This stage is in the same forest as the previous Helena North but is much more open as the trees are further away from the road. There's one junction between three and four kilometres from the start where you jump over a crest and then 50m down the road turn right, which is very easy to overshoot. After this point we follow the Mundaring dam and the road becomes quite flowing, going past a gravel airstrip. The last 300m are on tarmac and you go through a gate over a jump before the finish in a spectator area.
