Ride Summary

In spite of its close proximity to major population centers like Sydney and Bathurst, the road from Oberon to Goulburn feels quite remote. That could be partly because the road is separated from Sydney and the coast by the Great Dividing Range or, as some people call it, the Sandstone Curtain.

Ride Description

This 148 km ride passes through a variety of beautiful country including forest, farmland, and rugged sandstone. It’s a great way to get a feel for the bush, but in some parts, it feels more like riding through the English countryside. The road is paved, and is part of the regional connecting road between Canberra and the Hunter Valley.

Directions

Take the Black Springs road out of Oberon. From Goulburn riders can take the Hume Freeway back to Sydney, or continue on to Canberra or Melbourne.
