Where
We tailor the route each year to suit the unpredictable tropical weather and to make it the most exhilarating track for the riders. Here is an outline of what you can expect. We transfer from Cairns to Innisfail to start cycling. We ride up through the central section of Wooroonooran National Park going past the MaMu Rainforest Canopy Walk and Nandroya Falls and camping alongside beautiful Henrietta Creek.
We will then ride through the rainforest to Ravenshoe and Little Millstream Falls. From there we head south-west through open forest to Yourka Reserve, a Bush Heritage Australia property. You can help out on the property if you are interested and/or visit Herbert River Falls and the stunning Herbert River Gorge. This area has some magnificent swimming holes. After Yourka Reserve we will head through the western side of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area to Koombooloomba Dam. From there the route heads north along Tully Falls Road past the spectacular Tully Falls to the gorgeous historic village of Herberton and then across some exciting trails to Tinaroo Dam. The last day finds us riding through the rainforests of the Wet Tropics past Copperlode Dam down Lake Morris Road to Cairns. |
