I'm getting excited ... I pulled out my Australian Motorcycling Atlas and there are some 'must ride' roads between Brisbane and Nabiac ... including Lions Road which crosses over the Border Ranges from Rathdownie to Kyogle (which I've ridden and it's awesome) and Oxley Highway and Thunderbolts Way which also have great reps (but I haven't ridden them myself).

I am thinking of doing a slightly wandering route there and back taking in the best scenic twisties and taking two days each way so as to get the best riding in without the pressure of eating truck grit for 1600 kms.

It will be a longer route but will still only be about 500kms per day - but certainly far more enjoyable. Frank is talking about going down via the New England Highway and I may join him and return by a more circuitous route or vice versa.

I will share my route ideas after a bit more research. I would welcome route ideas - so don't hesitate to give your input anyone.


Cheers, Richard
