Ride past towering tree ferns, tall eucalyptus trees and cattlemen's huts on flowing well-maintained roads.

Starting and ending at Telephone Box Junction, this is a classic gravel cycling route known for its smooth, flowing surface and climbing with moderate gradients rarely exceeding 5%. Roll past giant tree ferns and cattlemen's huts, and embrace the long way around with detour options to Craig's Hut (3km return) and Bindaree Falls (10km return). Signage along the route is excellent, with numerous huts and information kiosks providing great spots for riders to take a breather.
