This is a spectacular late Spring to early Autumn Self Guided Tour...

Bream Creek

Highlights include...

Devonport - head north-west along the old coast road for unrivalled views of the Bass Strait, visit Mersey Bluff's rocky headland and the Aboriginal art and culture centre.

Bay of Fires and Mount William National Park - known for its pristine white beaches, turquoise ocean and brightly coloured gigantic limestone columns, a late afternoon or early morning visit is an absolutely 'must'! Packed with wildlife, encounters with wallabies, wombats and kangaroos are frequent.

Rider's eye view through the rainforestFreycinet National Park - steep granite rocks separate idyllic sandy beaches like 'Wineglass Bay' and 'Sleepy Bay' with a remarkable number of wildflowers in spring.

Port Arthur - the convict settlement on this remote peninsula still existed just 130 years ago and accounted for 12,000 prisoners! Even if you're not a history buff you can't help but be astonished by the place.

Hobart - strongly influenced by its maritime roots, the state Dove Lakecapital and second oldest city in Australia has a waterfront location to rival that of Sydney.

Mount Field National Park - easy access to spectacular waterfalls and rainforest makes this a popular day stop on the way to Strahan.

Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park - dolerite and quartzite mountains, varied flora, temperate rainforests, waterfalls and, as the name suggests, the wild rapids of the Franklin River. A cruise from Strahan is one way of accessing this World Heritage Area.

Cradle Mountains National Park - explore breathtaking alpine landscapes with rugged mountains, crystal clear lakes, a rich flora and fauna and the unique walking tracks through the most famous National Park in Tasmania.

Does it get any better?

Adventure on the Great Ocean RoadThe 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 close to Melbourne.

The road twists and winds as soon as you set your wheels on it! There are plenty of small coastal towns to stop for lunch and a coffee and with fantastic ocean lookouts on one side and the greenery of the lovely Otway Ranges on the other the views and riding don't get any better.

It takes longer than you might expect to ride along this road as there's so much to see. Take a walk in the temperate rainforest at Maits Rest and visit the 12 Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, the Grotto, London Bridge, The Arch - the list oges on! Keep an eye out for koalas in the roadside trees but don't forget to watch the road as well as the spectacular views!

Every motorcyclist should ride this road at least once in their life!

Grampians National Park lookout

One of the waterfalls in the Grampians National ParkGrampians National Park - after riding along the Great Ocean Road you'll turn north to the lovely Grampians National Park. This area of granite highlands is jam packed with wildlife, superb lookouts and beautiful waterfalls.
The Visitor Centre at Halls Gap is incredibly interesting and will give you an overview of the area. By the time you've ridden and taken a short walk to the two main lookouts and perhaps walked to the base of one of the waterfalls you'll need at least a half day there.

Goldfields - On the way back to Melbourne take in the quaint, old fashioned towns of Castlemaine and Daylseford with their lovely bakeries and cafes.

The beautiful countryside sweeps by and makes for a leisurely ride back to the city.
