Head all the way up firetrail to the 3 way point, follow thre sign to Palmdale for a couple of KM's then take a right hand fork (better details to be supplied) heading up to a power pylon.
The trail head is quite concealed to the right of the tower. Once you are on the trail just follow your nose.
You will eventually pop out into a clearing where you should head down and right into a nice super sketch section thats probably worth walking first. Near the end you will find yourself on a rough 4wd track which climbs back up to the ridgeline, look for trail offshoots on the left and right which loop into the bush then re-join the main trail further up. If you'r like me by this point and bleeding profusely from the thorns and branches covering the trail, you will probably just climb straight out.

It's not a patch on the new course and no where near as flowing. Be prepared to fight off lantana and for some reason quite a lot of wasps (Although I was wearing my full yellow kit, maybe they thought I was a big flower )
