The Journey Ahead
This isn't just a bike tour - it's a true Australian adventure.
The loop takes you deep into East Gippsland's spectacular back country: sealed and gravel back roads, farmland, forest and high country, following the Snowy River from Orbost and back again. Hand-picked country accommodation, hearty meals, and local support never far away.
Highlights
McKillops Bridge, a true engineering marvel
Victoria's deepest Gorge
Wildlife - koalas, platypus, kangaroos, kookaburras and more
Sweeping views from Tulloch Ard Lookout
Day by day
The journey
Stays • Orbost • Buchan • Gelantipy • Deddick • Goongerah
Set off from Orbost into the valley, with a mid-morning tea stop along the road. Arrive in Buchan. Dinner at the Buchan Caves Hotel.
Climb out of Buchan as the morning fog lifts. Morning tea at W Tree Falls, keeping an eye out for koalas along the way. Lunch at Karoonda, with a side trip to Tulloch Ard Lookout. Five-course dinner at Karoonda Park.
Morning tea at Little River Falls, then on to Little River Gorge. Descend to McKillops Bridge with the option of a swim in the Snowy River. Overnight near the Deddick River - no reception or TV, just cards by the fire.Â
A mix of gravel roads and lush green country through the rain shadow area. Lunch at Bonang Hall, then the sealed Bonang Road down through ferns and waratahs into Goongerah.
The final day, a smoother ride back to Orbost to reflect on the five days through the Snowy River region.Â
