5 Autumn Destinations for a Perfect Australian Cycling Holiday
Make the most of the cooler weather and gorgeous foliage this Autumn with an outstanding cycling holiday in Australia. From discovering Australia's premier wine-growing regions, to experiencing the classic country lifestyle, here are five of our favourite cycling trails to ride on a self guided bike holiday in Autumn.
1. Hunter Valley
Pedal from vineyard to vineyard while encountering kangaroos and cheese boards on the pleasant cycling paths in the Hunter Valley. Best of all, there's plenty of award winning wine on hand to help celebrate memorable cycling.
2. Murray to the Mountains Rail Trail
The Murray to the Mountains Rail Trail has it all: beautiful national parks, tall mountains, lakes, vineyards and a fascinating history including bush rangers and gold prospecting. During autumn this is enhanced by warm orange, apricot and red hues. See it for yourself on one of our flexible itineraries.
3. South Coast of New South Wales
Autumn is a dream time to explore the south coast of NSW. From Thirroul to Huskisson, you'll get to experience the south coast from a locals perspective - as in, without the crowds of summer and the school holidays! So hop on a bike and see why they call it 'the unspoilt south coast'.
4. Mudgee

However from March to May you'll find happiness among their fantastic wineries, eating up fresh local produce, and savouring the laidback streets of this heritage town.
5. Great Victorian Rail Trail
Autumn can be a busy time for the popular cycle trail between Mansfield and Tallarook, so it's very helpful to take advantage of our services that includes organising your comfortable accommodation along the route. Comfort is the key word, for after pedalling and exploring all day you'll want a cosy retreat to rest and recharge.
