The Great Outback Bike Ride

Hi there,
We have a few pictures to get your legs itching to pedal some of this amazing country.
What a way to start an event, at beautiful cool Cobbold Gorge where towering sandstone cliffs create an oasis filled with lush plants, abundant birdlife and a few freshwater crocadiles to keep you on your toes.

Ride from the ranges to the vast open plains.

Enjoy your rest day exploring ancient porcupine gorge, with its clear flowing creek, contrasting shadows and its peaceful quiet, broken only by the sound of birds.

This is the land where stockman still work the land and Waltzing Matilda was born.

And a swagman, is not a thing of the past.

Not only was Australia's greatest ballad born out here, but also the now global airliner, Qantas, though its exact birthplace is a bit controversial.

Trains, trains, trains, and what a way to see them, a real train buffs dream

It's not all desert either, the Cooper, Barcoo, Warago, Thomson and Flinders are just a few of the rivers that are the life blood of this country.

Not to forget, we cross the dog fence and pedal our way from the 'back of Bourke' into NSW

Plenty more to see, and plenty more to come. Keep checking out our blogs and contact us on info@outbike.com.au for any questions. Till next time
