A tale of two cites, this remarkable ride takes us from Melbourne to Sydney via the legendary “high Country” through to the world heritage listed Blue Mountains with its dramatic cliffs, valleys and Eucalypt forests. The ride takes in the home of motorcycle racing in Australia, Phillip Island, before continuing on to Gippsland, home to Australia’s largest system of inland waterways and the remote splendor of Ninety Mile beach. Turning inland we ride the seldom used, Barry Way, and into the magnificent Alpine National Park before crossing into NSW and onto Jindabyne. We descend from the highlands and ride onto Bateman's Bay, a wonderful beachside village with a rolling surf, quiet coves and rock pools. Inland again this ride will take us on to the magnificent Blue Mountains National Park, that has been continually inhabited by Aborigines for 22,000 years. We finish in the breathtaking Sydney with ones of the worlds greatest harbour side settings.
