On this tour you'll see breathtaking beaches and coastal scenery,
valleys crammed with vineyards, rugged outback gorges in the Flinders
Ranges, the never ending Nullarbor Plain with it’s incredible
cliff top lookouts, forests with the second largest trees in the
world, the huge lookouts and wildlife of the Grampians and three
bustling and beautiful cities. Five rest days in the most interesting
places split the journey up but we can tailor the length of the
tour to you.
Melbourne – with over
3.5 million people it is Australia's second largest city and it
is attractively located on the banks of the Yarra River and the
shores of Port Phillip Bay. It’s a cosmopolitan city with
a great quality of life. Explore on the trams, eat at the riverside
restaurants and people watch at the cafes!
The Great Ocean Road - One
of the most scenic coastal drives in the world, words can't describe
the spectacular scenery on this 280km section of road. Every motorcyclist
should ride this road at least once in their life! You have the
amazing coastal scenery (including the world famous 12 Apostles)
on one side with the temperate rainforest of the Otway Ranges
on the other. Dotted along the way are friendly small towns with
great cafes and restaurants that are perfect for a coffee break
and to take in the atmosphere.
Grampians National Park –
this area has steep granite highlands jam packed with wildlife,
superb lookouts and waterfalls. The biking roads are great and
on a clear day you can see 150 kms to the coast and the Great
Ocean Road. You have a day here to rest and explore this beautiful
area.
Adelaide - the 'City of Churches'
has one of the best botanical gardens in the world and don't forget
to try a pea floater (an Aussie meat pie ‘floating’
in pea soup)! Adelaide has a small town feel with lovely colonial
architecture and all the conveniences of a modern city.
Clare Valley - one of Australia's
premier wine growing regions, the carefully tended gardens, roses
and vineyards make this a much nicer route to Adelaide than the
main road. Try one of the famous Clare Valley Riesling’s
with a meal prepared at one of the many local restaurants and
wineries.
 Flinders
Ranges – this is an incredible outback region full
of wildlife and aboriginal culture. Huge red gorges contrast with
beautiful white gum trees and the peace and solitude make you
feel as if you’re on a different planet. This is how many
imagine the outback to be and all this can be had within a relatively
short distance of the Wilpena Pound Resort with all the modern
facilities. If you don't want to take your bike on gravel roads
the 4WD tours are superb and help to bring the place alive. You
have day here to explore and immerse yourself in the place.
Eyre Peninsula – It’s
quicker to go directly to Port Augusta but the lovely beaches,
sea lions, tuna fishing and cliff top lookouts along the Peninsula
make it worth the extra 400km or so.
 Nullarbor
Plain – this endless plain (null abor means ‘without
trees’ in Latin) is amazing for the distances, the friendly
characters you meet on the way, typical Aussie roadhouse pubs
and the most awe inspiring cliff top lookouts in Australia. There's
even whale watching at Head of Bight from June to October. It’s
as much about the people you meet as it is the scenery and a quick
smile and a ‘hi!’ will have you chatting with people
before you know it.
Esperance – amazingly,
the beaches and coastline gets even better close to Esperance.
Huge granite boulders sat in perfectly white sand alongside the
incredibly blue water make this is a jaw-droppingly beautiful
place. You’ll have a day to look around, take the coastal
drive and relax on the stunning beaches.
Albany - the first town in
W.A., it has an old world charm that’s surrounded by some
of the most amazing beaches and coastal National Parks in Australia.
You have a day to explore to give you time to visit the Blowholes,
Nature’s Arch and The Gap. The beaches both here and in
Esperance on your next stop were recently voted the best in Australia
and the sand is so pure it squeaks when you walk on it. Add an
amazingly turquoise ocean and steep coastal scenery and it’s
a photographer’s paradise.
Margaret River – you
have a full day to explore the surrounding area with its huge
forests, world class vineyards, stunning pure white beaches and
amazing coastline. It’s one of the most scenic but least
well known parts of Australia and an incredibly beautiful, carefully
kept Australian secret
Perth - Arguably the most
scenic city in Australia. Cruise the Swan River, visit the wineries,
relax on the superb beaches and spoil yourself shopping and dining
in fine restaurants. It’s a great place to start/end the
trip with a relaxed atmosphere and impressive city skyline.
There is no difference in costs if you
ride alone or with a pillion.
N.B. This tour can be adjusted to suit your timescales
