This is one leg that Cycle Across Oz knows like the back of their hands. This ride has been conducted by us 3 times. The route, length & accommodation changes slightly each time & this time we have more rest days and a slightly different route. We have added the extra rest days to improve the ambience of the ride allowing the riders a more relaxed time as this is the end of a very long journey.
Some of the highlights include:
Kalgoorlie
The discovery of gold by Paddy Hannan in 1893 led to one of Australia's great gold rushes. It is now Australia's largest Outback City
The Nullarbor Plain
This can be a very boring drive in a car but it is sensational on a bike. There is just so much to see along this stretch of Australia which most people miss because they are in such a rush to get over it. In 1866 E. Alfred Delisser surveyed the Nullarbor Plain and noted a marked absence of trees.
The Great Australian Bight
The Great Australian Bight, the largest indentation on the Australian coast, is said to be the longest line of seacliffs in the world.
The Clare Valley
Welcome to one of Australia's oldest wine regions, Clare Valley. Discover heritage towns, trails, boutique wineries, museums, galleries and beautiful scenery.
The Murray/Coorong
The Coorong and Murray Lakes region in South Australia is a vast unspoiled ecosystem comprised of freshwater lakes, wetlands and ocean beaches.
The Great Ocean Road
Travel the Great Ocean Road and beyond for one of the world's most scenic coastal drives, and see the 12 Apostles (what's left of them), iconic surf breaks and waterfalls.
Thanks St Kilda Backpacker. Once the ride commences we should be able to provide alot more detail which should assist other bike riders coming behind us.
