G’day menace,

Yeah, good size ride. Should be good.

The route will go something like this –

Looks like tarmac down to Nowra, then into bush to Milton. Then basically follow parallel to highway through state forest tracks down to Cobargo. Stay the night.

Then across the Wadbilliga NP to Nimittabel, Cathcart, Bonang then Snowy River NP down to Orbost and Find a pub.

Then Buchan, Ensay, Dargo to Briagolong. Bit of Tarmac to around Rosedale/Gormandale area. Then down through Tarra-Bulga NP to Foster. Find another pub.

Can’t really find anymore dirt roads to get to the Island, so a bit of Tarmac to get there.

Haven’t got the gippsland area fully sorted yet with maps,, still working on it. If you can offer some of your local knowledge that would be great.

Bike is XR650R.

there are some big days riding there Sid :dry:

for instance mate,
Day one… Sydney to cobargo, thats 380km going straight down the Princes Hwy, let along riding dirt. that would push it up to near 500km.
theres a long day and a sore arse :laugh: :laugh:

Day two… cobargo to orbost, 350+ km of big arse mountains :dry:
i would actually say its impossible unless you are some world enduro champion :ohmy:

Day three…Buchan-Ensay-Dargo-Briagalong-Foster…. holy shit :laugh:
that is 450+ km if keeping to maximum dirt. the first 200km from Buchan to Briagolong is across the high country. its massively steep and rocky and would probably kill a mortal man. (me included) :laugh: :laugh:

thats over 1200km just to foster…

i dont think Bear Grills would try that on his own. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

its certainly do-able Sid but i think it might take you a little longer than you think.

and you will need an Exxon Valdez fuel tank :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
