The way points of this bicycle route:
Bundaberg
Start at the Quay St rest area with tables, toilets and a board walk.
POW Pub
Once a great pub on the corner - Prince of Wales. A pub no more. Watch the traffic at this intersection.
Telegraph Rd
Telegraph Rd gets you away from houses and into Sugar Cane fields in the blink of an eye.
Ashfield Rd
Normally a quiet road, but watch for speeding younger drivers.
Fe Walker St
Be very careful here, traffic travels at speed and drivers tend not see entering traffic.
Hummock Rd
Turn left here for a quick steep climb to the top of an extinct Volcano.
Steep Climb
A very steep, but relatively short climb. Pick a low gear early or you'll be walking up to the top.
Hummock Lookout
Spectacular views of the surrounding areas. Look out to sea on a clear day and you should be able to see Fraser Island. A great place to rest a while and enjoy the views.
