About this route
We did this ride in between 6-8 days (I can't quite remember) in the middle of winter. We didn't see any snow, but it was pretty exposed to the wind.
Â
The landscape is pretty bleak between Cooma and the Vic/NSW border, due to horrific land clearing. Once you cross the border it's glorious rainforest (at least until Vic Forests have finished logging it).
Â
Camping by the side of the road is largely ok, however in some farming areas it was a matter of finding a small patch of trees and asking the residents if we could camp on their land.
Â
There's a fantastic Rail Trail from Orbost to Bairnsdale, and from there you can catch a train to Melbourne. If you've got time, cycling there via Wilsons Promontory would be ideal.
