Profit And Donations

Ever wondered what happens to the profits from the Brass Monkey Rally...

The Dunstan Trail

  • Stay on the Trail. If gates are locked, the trail is Closed. “THIS IS FOR YOUR SAFETY”.

      • Rescue services will be unable to come to your aid.

  • Be considerate of others on the trail and keep left.

  • Plan to arrive on-site during daylight hours.

  • The route from Moa Creek to Ida Valley Back Road will be marked with fluoro arrows.

    • This is a Public Road, registered and warranted (WOF) bikes only.

    • ALL road rules must be obeyed.

    • No speeding.

    • No Alcohol.

    • The Police WILL be monitoring this.

The Dunstan trail is a public road, and historically the police have allowed us to advertise it as an alternative way of travelling to the Brass Monkey Rally for trail bikes, quads and four-wheel drive vehicles.

Unfortunately, last year the actions of a number of riders coming over the Dunstan Trail for last year’s Brass Monkey Rally caused very real safety concerns for organisers and the NZ Police.

A number of riders were dealt with by Police and subsequently convicted of driving with excess breath alcohol.

There were also a number of motorcycle crashes on the Dunstan Trail, three of which the victims were airlifted to Dunedin Hospital.

The Dunstan Trail is a public road, and as such any vehicles and riders travelling on it will need to comply with the Land Transport Act 1998, this means riders must drive to the conditions, vehicles must be registered and warranted and drivers must not drive if they are impaired by alcohol or drugs.

The NZ Police will be monitoring the Dunstan Trail and environs so expect to be stopped and spoken to. All riders spoken to will be breath tested.

Due to this move by the police, the OMCC will not be providing a road escort to the Rally site this year. This will not be needed as all vehicles must be road legal.

Child Safety

  • Due to multiple hazards on the rally site and the amount of traffic, please ensure adequate parental supervision is provided.

  • All children riding on-site are required to wear appropriate safety equipment.

Oturehua Winter Sports Club

(A letter from the Oturehua winter sports club March 2011.)

As president of the Oturehua Winter Sports Club, I am writing this as a thank you for your support over the last 30 years. Because of the Rally, our community is very self-sufficient not needing to go to outside organizations looking for funding for our local projects. Monies raised from the rally have gone towards, running and upkeep of the Hall, building new tennis courts, extending the Pavilion at the domain, support the school when it was open, cover and maintain the swimming pool, help local children with costs associated with regional sporting achievements, contribute towards costs of the local Ice hockey club and of course maintain our buildings and plant at the Dam and Rally site. We are a small community who all pull together over the rally weekend because we see the benefits of past rallies. So once again thank you for your support, patience and help over the weekend, we hope to see you this year, safe riding and hoping for a cool crisp Queens birthday weekend.
