The Tasmanian Trail is a scenic and peaceful — yet sometimes challenging — ride across the island state of Tasmania, accompanied by its unique fauna and flora, amazing food and incredible hospitality of the Tasmanian people.
As one moves through Tasmania, the landscape seems to be ever-changing, even on a short bike journey. It seems Tasmanians keep this natural wonder a secret to preserve its unique beauty, gorgeous wildlife and unspoiled wilderness. After riding the Tasmanian Trail, you may understand why and consider leaving your old life behind to settle on this peaceful island.
The route follows mainly the Tasmanian trail Coast to Coast, from the Dover in the south to the northern town of Devonport. The trail is designed for horse riders, walkers and mountain bikers, and is marked 95% of the way. It aims to link small villages by trails, forestry roads and gravel country roads. It is designed for people to experience the scenic vistas the country has to offer — from the fertile lands of the Huon valley to the bold landscape of the Central Plateau, from the dense primal forest of the Forested Range, to the endless hops fields along the Dervent Valley River.

Attack of the Buns is a 3-day bikepacking route exploring Australia’s Southern Tablelands and Highlands by linking up three significant sections of car-free, wild, forest trails with quiet gravel backroads and short paved sections through four towns. It’s a perfect route for a long weekend that will spoil nature lovers with a buffet of lush landscapes, wildlife, majestic cliffs, and rock formations.
This route was designed with the intention of sharing some of the most beautiful areas in the New South Wales region of Australia within a three or four day trip. It is the perfect balance of smile-inducing landscapes, remote adventure, and accessibility for those of us who aren’t elite athletes. This is one for the nature lovers. Riders will be delighted with the amount of variety this route packs into three days, from the expanses of forest to the the abundance of camping options, the countless little side trips, and especially the hidden treasures including waterfalls, babbling streams, mossy rock formations and awe inspiring cliffs. In addition, there are plenty of opportunities for spotting iconic Australian wildlife, including wombats, kangaroos, wallabies and lyrebirds
Dominated by wide, smooth gravel country roads and car-free fire trails (fire roads for those in the USA), each day the route will take you through an ever-changing buffet of Australian landscapes, including dry eucalypt, sandy coastal woodlands and lush rainforest. You’ll crisscross through national parks several times and have plenty of time away from civilisation without being too far away from supplies.
