The ultimate cross continent tour! 6,476kms of incredible
experiences.
You'll see a huge range of Australian landscapes including some
of the best beaches in Australia, alpine regions, bustling cities,
valleys crammed with vineyards, one of the most awe inspiring
areas of outback, the never ending Nullarbor Plain, forests with
the second largest trees in the world and the amazingly beautiful
South West. 5 rest days in the most interesting places split the
journey up. All this and the satisfaction of knowing you've ridden
across the continent...!
 Sydney
- there's so much to see and do in this fantastic city!
The Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Darling Harbour, Manly, Circular
Quay - and that just touches the surface. You could spend a couple
of days or a week depending on your timescales.
NSW Southern Coast - superb
beaches, great scenery and lovely coastal towns.
Snowy Mountains - Superb
alpine scenery in Australia? Most people don't realise that Australia
has more ski runs than Switzerland! The Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric
Scheme is an amazing feat of engineering and so take some time
to check out the visitors centres too.
Victoria Highlands - The
Great Alpine Road is almost spectacular as its coastal cousin.
Twisting tarmac and huge views as you ride through Victoria's
beautiful scenery.
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 most impressive 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 - endless beaches, sea lions, tuna fishing and
cliff top lookouts. Also a favourite haunt of the Great White
Shark!
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 the scenery and a quick smile
and a ‘hi!’ will have you chatting with people before
you know it.
