This circuit from Armidale to Wollomombi falls and back via Hillgrove and Bakers creek falls could be undertaken in one longish day. Instead, we chose to take our tent and a barbecue tea and camped out in the National Park. This meant that we not only had a leisurely ride in both directions, but we were able to experience much more of the park. We saw a squirrel glider and a couple of squabbling possums as we cooked our barbecue at Edgars lookout while the sun set colours lit up the sky in one direction and the full moon rose in the other direction. Later we rode our bikes around to the main lookout to photograph the gorge by moonlight, seeing a bonus brush tailed rock wallaby as well as an owl. While eating breakfast we watched and listened to the resident lyrebird displaying. The route is a hilly one, the seal runs out about 7 km along Chandler rd and the road is gravel until Kilcoy rd meets Fassifern rd nearly at Wollomombi village. We returned via Waterfall Way. This is a highway with a fairly low volume of fast traffic. It has a shoulder much of the way, but this is usually very narrow. So, it’s OK to ride but not that pleasant. We took a detour off the main road to visit the old mining village of Hillgrove, as well as Baker’s creek falls. This was mostly a pleasant ride though old Hillgrove rd was pretty corrugated and rough. It also misses one of the narrower sections of the highway.
