night. It's not a long day on the bike but there's so much to
see on the way it takes all day. If you arrive earlier than expected
there's the 'Promised Land' circuit to ride which takes you through
a beautiful single track country lane past crystal clear streams
where you can stop for a refreshing swim on a hot afternoon!
New
England - Another incredibly scenic and winding back road

which to spend the evening before riding along the Waterfall Way
the following day.

take a walk or two through the peacefeul scenery.
The Great Ocean Road - Famous
as one of the most scenic coastal drives in the world, words can't
describe the wonderful scenery on this 280km stretch of road leading
to Melbourne. There are stunning ocean views on one side and the
Otway Ranges on the other with their temperate rainforest and
eucalypts with koalas. It is a superb biking road and one that
every motorcyclist should ride at least once in their life!

city with loads to see and do. Lygon Street has superb Italian
restaurants for an Al Fresco meal and you can tour the city quickly
and easily on the trams. Take a walk along the Yarra River, have
