The Pacific, the Great Divide and the Plains – 9 Days

Total riding distance – 1,792 km / 1,114 miles.

Seven riding days of discovering what this part of New South Wales offers: exhilarating roads, breathtaking scenery, nature, animals, and lots of history of mechanical, natural, and human endeavours.

The tour takes you along the Pacific Coast, riding up The Great Dividing Range and onto the Western Slopes. This provides a great variety of roads, from twisty mountain ones to open highways. We try to stay off the main highways, though, at times, they are the best way to get you to the next bit of interesting road.

Some of the roads are well-known to local riders. The food stops have been personally chosen for what they offer and their variety.

Below, you will find the daily itinerary.

We look forward to sharing this adventure with you as you discover an Australia you do not know about.

We leave Tamworth and head south to the Hunter Warbirds; here, we immerse ourselves in the fascinating world of aviation history.

The next stop is Denman, where we refuel both bikes and bellies with a delightful lunch surrounded by the charm of this town. The engines rumble as we hit the iconic Bylong Valley Way, cruising through its scenic twists and turns, a playground for every motorcycle enthusiast.

As the road unfolds, we find ourselves at the Robert Stein Winery and Motorcycle Museum in Mudgee—a perfect blend of two worlds – the elegance of wine and the history of motorcycles.

With the day winding down, we ride to our accommodation for the night in Mudgee.

Day 07: Mudgee to Bathurst (Ride day: 164 km / 102 miles)

Our journey starts from Mudgee, the morning sun casting a golden glow as we hit the road toward Hill End.

As we ride through the scenic route, the historic charm of Hill End welcomes us. The echoes of the Gold Rush era surround us, a lesson in Australia’s Gold Rush history. We try to experience the gold fields life in the museum, soaking in the stories of this once-booming mining town.

Next, we roll into Sofala, a quaint village frozen in time. The heritage buildings and narrow streets add a touch of nostalgia to our ride.

It’s time to head to Bathurst, the iconic Mount Panorama beckoning. We will have time to ride the track, but be warned on non-race days; this is public, and the 60 kilometres per hour speed limit is enforced. We overnight in Bathurst and enjoy our last night together on the road.

Day 08: Bathurst to Sydney (Ride day: 209 km / 130 miles)

Leaving Bathurst, the city of motorsports, behind, today’s journey takes us through the scenic route via Tarana, where the roads weave through picturesque landscapes.

A pit stop in Bilpin on the Bells Line of Road adds the perfect touch to our last day on the road. Surrounded by nature, we refuel with a cup of coffee and delicious food.

We return to the road with our next stop at Fraser Motorcycles in Strathfield—a chance for the last-minute Harley Davidson memento. From here, we will soon return to our Motorcycles and then into the city for our last dinner together.

Tonight will be the time to relive our days on the road and share the experiences we have had together.
