Cycling

For those who like part or all of their holidays on two wheels the wilderness coast is a great place to visit. The rides we have done and recommend fit into the following three categories.

Family rides: This covers short to medium rides along quiet roads and tracks.

Forest rides: The coastal forests of the wilderness coast contain a network of tracks many of which are suitable for one hour to all day rides using mountain bikes and hybrids.

Extended rides: This relates specifically to a 5 day ride from Bairnsdale to Cann River using the East Gippsland Rail Trail, the Old Coast Road and some other minor roads and tracks plus a support vehicle to carry camping equipment etc. The guidebook contains a list of recommended rides including details such as distance, terrain and how to get there etc.
