- Back Country cycling in New Zealand
is pure magic and our speciality. We have been organising cycling
and adventure holidays in New Zealand since 1995 and have a wealth of local
experience, knowledge and contacts - plus we are Kiwis! The scenery, trails and cycling experience
cannot be matched by any other location in the world and touring in
New Zealand is great
value.
Our tours integrate quiet back roads,
rail trails, wine trails, and some more remote adventure tracks to
provide the perfect cycling holiday. So with breathtaking
scenery, awesome trails & tracks, friendly locals, fabulous food and
a wealth of wine regions and award winning

Trail Tours
+ more....
- This is Victoria's best
rail trail, and arguably the best in
Australia. Join Bushranger
Bikes on 8 and 9 day all
inclusive tours to
this fantastic region of Australia
and enjoy the delights of the North
Eastern Victoria high country,
including fantastic historic
Beechworth, beautiful Bright,
gourmet Milawa and epicurean Rutherglen.
The Victorian 'High Country' is
famous for its Bushranger history, but is also a land of vineyards,
tobacco, wine and hops and an abundance of
local produce is waiting to be
sampled.
In
Victoria you will experience the
unique Australian High Country with it's eucalypts and rugged
granite outcrops, beautiful rural open spaces, fantastic historical
towns, award winning wines and the colours of the seasons - particularly beautiful in autumn
and spring when we visit
- all shaped by a history of gold mining and the escapades of the
Kelly Gang.
Depending on the tour option, our Victorian tours also include
either a visit to Bendigo and local rides including the O'Keefe Rail
Trail, or dropping into Melbourne to experience a totally contrasting
cycling experience following the Yarra River
which highlights a different history and the vibrancy of cosmopolitan
Melbourne.
Accommodation will be
in unique, good quality, boutique
establishments with an emphasis on
something different or historic, and
the food is fantastic - a
trade mark of Bushranger Bikes
tours.

Bushranger Bikes 'Tag Along'
Adventure Road Trips -
Something New From Bushranger Bikes:
Bushies Burnett Bash - Winter - Spring 2012
Carnarvon Gorge has been on my 'to do' list for over
twenty years and I finally made it in June this year
(2011).
Wow - it was fantastic! The landscape, scenery,
colours, Aboriginal art and walks were all absolutely
awesome – it was breathtaking.
Travelling through the Burnett Region with ‘big country’
vistas and visiting the rural towns was fun and I was
also given great weather which just helped to top of an
amazing trip.
So as always - this got me thinking of how I could share
this with others and organise a fun trip away. I know a
number of our regular riders have caravans etc. so
what’s developed? A Bushranger Bikes ‘Short Break’ with
a difference – an
Outback Road trip - a
Tag Along Tour!
Winter
through to Spring is the ideal time for outback
touring so bring on 2012!
Bushies Burnett Bash
– Winter/Spring 2012 - a eight day/seven
night outback adventure road trip of Central
Queensland’s South Burnett and Burnett Regions with
caravans, camper trailers, motor homes or your car and
tent. We will visit the Bunya Tourist Drive, Cania
Gorge, Carnarvon Gorge and
Bjelke-Petersen
Dam at Moffatdale.
The timing is
perfect for some road tripping and bushwalking as the
weather is usually great, temperatures are pleasant and
it’s wild flower season – brilliant - hitch em up!
